Large numbers of slow-cooked meals can be executed in a pressure cooker, I've found. Cuts down on the necessary deliberation. If the sauce is thick it might not work; I tried chicken en mole in the pressure cooker and it was a disaster. Beans, though? You can do a pot of beans in 45 minutes.

Right now I have room for about negative ten appliances (part of the slowcook appeal) but I'ma jump all over that, especially for beans, when I move. I'd eat beans with every meal if it was even semi-practical.

Oh, I feel you. This place is packed tight like the hold of an ocean-going sailboat.

That said, my set functions admirably as a stock pot, functions admirably as a fry pan, and I never got a veggie basket which saved me the trouble of throwing it away. So if you don't like your stockpot and frying pan, hey, upgrade.
