ive wondered whether doing this with an induction hob on low would work before.. never tried it

i use the cast iron pots as a slow cooker frequently, works a treat for me. The difficulty will be judging the temperature for which you want to slowly slowly cook and not burn while you're out.
I tend to get it started when i'm in and watching it, set the temperature and alter water / fluid content to suit. I prefer putting the casserole in the oven for this purpose.

Why not just chuck it in a very low oven? I'd worry a bit if it were a gas oven but electric would be OK, no?
PS I made chicken quesadillas for the first time today... Jerked a chicken yesterday so refried some up, made a few corn tortillas from scratch and away I went with a few slices of smokey cheese... Was very, very good... 🐖

I’ve got a Le Creuset round casserole like below. I quite like the idea of slow cookers (ie put the ingredients in the morning and come home to something warm and tasty), but I don’t really want to buy another separate thing for the kitchen. Has anybody used a cast iron casserole dish as a slow cooker? Would this work if I bought a heating base? Or is this a terrible idea?
So, would something like this turn the above into roughly a slow cooker?
