hi purple52, welcome to the site, it's a nice place to post,. If you have an electric stove, you could use a pan on it and sit it on low or maybe just high enough for it it just simmer. That would work and require about the same amount of time, if's it gas, I don't know if you could lower the flame that much, lots of luck and let us know what you tried and what worked, annaskf

Many of the things I make now my slow cooker, I made in a pot on top of the stove, or sometimes in the oven on a low temperature.
The older electric roasters have been around for some time. They can be used like a slow cooker when set at low temperatures, but have quite a large capacity.
The only big difference between cooking in a slow cooker and cooking on your stove is that slow cookers are designed to be safe while unattended, but in most cases you are going to have to be around to watch and stir if food is on the stove.

The Dutch oven and Granite roaster will probably set you back, though. So it might be better, from an economic standpoint, to get the slow cooker.
If you are wondering about how to make a certain recipe that calls for a slow cooker, though, and want to know how to do it, then yes, we'd definitely need the recipe you're making to know how to substitute.
And welcome to the community!

A dutch oven with about 1 cup liquid in a slow oven.
The dutch oven can either be cast iron or porcelain covered cast iron. Lenght of time depends on what is being cooked. A 3lb chuck roast is about 2 to 3 hrs. at 325 degrees F.
In a large granite roaster, 11 cups of apple sauce with added spices, to make apple butter is overnight at 225 degrees F.
