Tips

Don't leave cooked corned beef at room temperature for more than 2 hours. Pack it into shallow containers, and refrigerate or freeze. Use refrigerated cooked or leftover corned beef within 3 to 4 days. Freeze diced or sliced leftover corned beef for up to 3 months. Reheat all leftovers to the minimum safe temperature of 165 F.
Flat cut or point cut, what's the difference? A flat cut corned beef brisket is lean and shaped like a flat rectangle. It's the best choice if you plan to slice the corned beef. The flat cut is also leaner than the point cut. The point cut is a fattier and more tender cut. If you want a very tender, falling-apart brisket, choose the point cut.
A low starch potato is the best choice for the slow cooker. High starch potatoes—e.g., russets, Katahdins, Idaho—tend to break down over a long period of cooking, while low starch—or waxy—varieties hold their shape. Low starch potatoes include red-skinned, fingerlings, Rose Gold, and new potatoes. Or use Yukon Gold potatoes; they are slightly waxy, all-purpose potatoes.
