I like using my slow cooker, but it takes way too long to cook stuff.
Some foods take 6 - 8 hours. Can you imagine such a thing?

I wonder if I should hook it up to a 240 circuit. That should cut the
cooking time in half.

You need to put child caps on the other outlets on the circut. Electricity
follows the path of least resistance.


I have a light fixture with two parallel sockets. One with a 40W bulb in
it, and the other with a 60W bulb in it. The 60W bulb has a lower
resistance so the 40W bulb will never light.

You said it, least resistance.
