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.
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 is asssuming that it did not explode or something worse.
To unpeel another layer of the obviousness onion, it wouldn't do so much good for "slow cooking", either.
You could put more wood on the fire. You could grease your electrons to the current would flow faster. Is this the place to mention WD-40?
That's nothing, I have a fast cooker that cooks too fast. I wonder if I hooked it to a couple of flashlight batteries if that would slow it down? It's hell when you try to cook something and it cooks before you can get a plate from the cabinet. o_O

That is why it is called a SLOW COOKER> ww

Yeahbut. There is rabbit slow and turtle slow.
Does something need to be lubricated?
Idiot. Watts = Volts X Amps X PF So it would be twice the watts if the volts were doubled.
Also. Watts = amps X amps X resistance.
It is intended to cook tough and cheaper cuts of meat, so pointless speeding it up.

Derby Dad's electrons must be rusty if his slow cooker is slow. Maybe percussive maintenance would be the answer.
Higher voltage is not going to increase the boiling point of water. Get yourself a pressure cooker - if they are still legal ;)
As usual, the village idiot has once again demonstrated his incompetence. Mark has it right. With a resistance load, doubling the voltage increases the power (watts) by 4. That is because of the simple fact that doubling the voltage also doubles the current. 2 x 2 = 4.
Got it now harry, or as usual, do you want to argue on and further make an ass of yourself?
You need a Weber grill with liquid oxygen assist
Ah, so if volts doubles PF drops in half? ...on a heating element? This must be some Brit physics to add to the Usenet physics flying around here.
Where did the PF go, harry? More Brit physics?
Too late, he did that years ago.

Yup I have slow cookers to cook slow, and pressure cookers to cook fast. And a whole bunch of pots and pans to cook things in between..
I understand they have self powered models now, but you have to be careful as they have a tendency to overpressurize.
