Slow Cookers

Yes. But it would defeat the purpose of the product, which is convenience i.e. the time it takes to cook it. Also some of the vegetables may lose their crispness.

Yes, they do not use high temperatures, so they use less energy. However it's important to test your crockpot liner for lead. You can get a lead test kit at the hardware store. Wouldn't want that leaching into your food now would you?

My wife cooks hers on high for 8 hours on high and it does not dry out

For safety, after the soup cooled below 135°F, it should have been refrigerated within 2 hours. Then it would have had another 4 hours to get to 40°F.

You missed the recommended time frame of getting the food to 40°F by 6 hours and you exceeded the maximum cumulative exposure time above 70°F for just about any pathogenic bacteria that's out there. Now the fact that the soup was cooked might have eliminated them - or it might not. Additionally, normal cooking does not eliminate bacterial spores - which will then grow when the soup cools. If that has happened, and you reheat the soup - any toxins that have formed may or may not be destroyed.

So, without tests, no one can tell you it is safe to eat and no food safety person would tell you that it is. The decision is up to you.

To make apple butter in a crock pot, begin by peeling, coring, and chopping about 6-8 apples, then place them in the crock pot. Add sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and a splash of lemon juice to taste, then cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours, stirring occasionally. Once the apples are soft, use an immersion blender to puree the mixture until smooth. Cook uncovered for an additional hour to thicken, then store in jars or containers.

To cook one-inch pork chops in a Crock-Pot, you should plan for about 4 to 6 hours on low heat or 2 to 3 hours on high heat. Ensure the internal temperature of the pork chops reaches at least 145°F for safe consumption. Adding some liquid, like broth or sauce, can help keep the meat moist during cooking. Always check for tenderness, as cooking times may vary based on the specific Crock-Pot model and the thickness of the chops.
