i realize this is a joke/troll, but just to play along..

Watts = V^2/R

so if you hook it to 240 instead of 120, it would take 1/4 the time.

That's nothing, I have a fast cooker that cooks too fast. I wonder if I

I wish I had the counter top convection oven a friend gave me years ago.
It was the size of a large microwave oven, had a standard 120v
plug and didn't draw a lot of current for what it did. It had a simple
mechanical timer, thermostat and pilot light to indicate it was on. It
was an uncomplicated and very effective appliance. I could put a roast,
a large dead chicken or any combination of dead animal parts and plants
that had been ripped from their homes into a large pan then cover it
with aluminum foil, set the timer, turn the oven on then go do a service
call or some shopping. When I returned after a few hours, the lifeless
animal and vegetable pieces were cooked and had time to cool down to a
suitable temperature for me to tear into the dead animal parts and eat
them. Of course I was making all the appropriate grunting and growling
sounds as I ate. ^_^

I was recently eyeing up an old toastmaster, made in USA, table model with
mechanical controls. I still would not leave the house if I had it on. I
don't have an extra outlet or counter space. Sometimes I'm cooking with two
microwaves and my little turbo, all at the same time. Plus regular

That's true if you want to get into second order effects. But this
isn't
a light bulb filament. It's a heating element in direct contact with
water,
so the temp of the element probably isn't going to change
dramatically. For example, for heating elements for spas
and hot tubs, the rated power is given as 4X when going
from 120V to 240V. The one in my spa is rated at 1500W
at 120V, 6000W at 240V. With the cooker you'd see some
increase in resistance and it wouldn't be exactly 4X, but it
would be in the ballpark.

My cooker has a removable ceramic pot. There is air between the pot and
inner metal wall, and the heater is on the inside. For the pot to get to
boiling, the air must be a lot hotter. I could try measuring it, but
probably not.

Pedantic response -
The cooker would produce about 4x the heat (briefly, before it burned out).

As Frank notes, the heat may boil out the water, which does not improve
the cooked product.

In any case, cooking rate, like other chemical reactions, in general
approximately doubles for every 10 degrees C temperature rise.

You guys may want to rethink what you're claiming.... In essence,
all the lights and other loads in a house are in "parallel". They all
have 120V going to them. Yet both the smallest bulb and
the largest all light...... As they should, because they have 120V
across them, exactly as they are supposed to.....


Hogwash!

errr.... you do realize it's goof thread right. I mean what I posted was
intentionally dumb. Eluding to electricity leaking out of outlets because
of least resistance when, unused, outlets are effectively infinite.

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.
Electri
city
follows the path of least resistance.

I have a light fixture with two parallel sockets. One with a 40W
bulb i
n
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.

Lights also have a really high resistance change as they glow.
I don't think I tried this, but they would tend to want to equalize.

Who's going to try it ?

Hmmm...after refreshing, I see some parts have turned serious.
Considering the content of the OP, sad.

Preheat liquid ingrediants to near boiling point in microwave before adding them to
crockpot.. That will halve your cooking time..

And also add a folded towel on top of crockpot and two longest sides to prevent heat loss.
Remove once contents start boiling..

No need. The post is from April. Even with the slowest,
slow cooker, the meal was done a long time ago.
