Is it possible to slow cook without a slow-cooker?

• Gas stovetops aren't as good as electric or induction at maintaining a very low flame.
  • Using some kind of diffuser below the pot can reduce the effective heat of the lowest-maintainable-heat flame.
• A list of suggestions:
  • You may need to stir it more frequently, possibly much more frequently.
  • Use a Dutch oven. [1] [2]
  • Cook the pot inside your oven, instead of the stovetop. [2]

Tips and tricks

• A pressure cooker can't always be used in place of a slow-cooker, since that results in a higher cooking temperature, which isn't always desirable.
  • The best temperature to cook meat for a long time is 190 to 195°F / 88 to 90° C.   [2]   [3]

TODO: Braising in the oven at 300 to 325°F (maybe even 200 to 350°) for several hours
