So you can peel for 5-10 meals worth of vegetables AND cook it all in under 15 minutes (slow cook it at that)? Well, you must have found a way to bend spacetime or something. I understand one hour is very long, but no need to go overboard in the other direction either.


I think it was the preparation time, not the cooking time. You can prepare a vegetable soup from raw vegetables in less than 15 minutes. With some training you can do that in 5 minutes. You'll need an extra 30 minutes simmering though but no more work after preparation unless you want it mixed. You really can't overcook a vegetable soup. You can even keep it a couple of days in the pan without it getting sour. It's a hassle free meal.

But you are right, the truth lies between 15 minutes and an hour.


Yeah that's prep time, but it really is just 15 minutes. No simmering, just peel and chuck in some veg & spices and a joint of meat.

I can peel enough veg in that time, yes. That's pretty much it for preparation (which is what I said took 15 minutes) as I'll just drop a joint of meat in.

Beyond that cooking it is sticking it in a slowcooker and turning it on. It takes a long time, but that just means a bit of planning (but hardly much).
