SCJA
When I die, I want people to look at me and say "Yeah, he might have been crazy, but that was one zarkin frood that knew where his towel was."
There are only two hard things in computer science: cache invalidation, naming things, and off-by-one errors

Recently, we have discovered the joy and wonder of a pressure cooker. Neither my wife or I had ever used one before about 2 months ago. Every time we've used it since, we have gotten the tenderest, juiciest meats out. Simple and easy - it's awesome.

Well, 12 hours is a bit much -- the meat will probably fall apart. The other issue is I work from home, and the smell would make it impossible to do anything productive...![]()
So, for me, it it probably best to do it on the weekend, and keep it to (no more than, and likely much less than) 4 hours of simmering.

Thats why i cook it for 12 hours on low. If I'm going to be home quicker 6 hours on high. I just find that you get all the flavours to infuse into the meat if you do and the tenderness of the flesh after that length of time. OMG. Seriously, try it. You won't regret it.

I gave up on the crock pot, in favor of a dutch oven, a while back ago. My crock pot is probably in the back of a closet somewhere.
And while my gas range can hold a really really small flame (for simmering), I don't think anything can hold a flame that is similar to the energy of a crock pot on low.
Yes, slow and long cooking is fantastic. I am just saying that I can produce similar results in around four hours via other means.
