I use my induction range for slow cooking with no problem. I'll leave stuff on, go to work, and come back 10 hrs later. I'll also use the oven as a slow cooker - put a pork butt in and go to bed or go to work. I'll also use my rice cooker on the warm setting as a slow cooker and have left beef shortribs in there for days. These techniques work like a Maverick missile i.e., fire and forget.
