Then there are always crockpots.

Walk-away ease. :-)

I do recommend pressure cookers (as I have so many times in the past).
They have many uses. But, I did grow up with mom using one a lot.
Especially at high altitudes. She even took one camping with us and used
it for canning wild blackberries over a campfire more than once. <g>

I'm glad I learned how to use one from her.
They are an awesome time saver.
