    no idea in the slow cooker - as when i use mine i use it all day. i would think for something ready in a couple of hours you may be better off in the oven for a casserole?
    but someone with more slow cooker exp will prob have better advice

    I did a beef curry the other night and I cooked it on high for three hours. It was fine.

    Put it on now and you can eat by 7pm

    if you brown the ingredients first & put whatever liquid in that you're using hot then it will help it cook faster. i reckon you'll be fine

    If its just veg a few hrs on high should be fine. If its meat, brown it first, cut into small pieces and you might get it cooked in 3-4 hours. GL
