LOL! Yes, but will cost you at least 5$ in electric. (the crockpot will set
you back 20$ or less and cost at most 20cents to cook this dish).

Oven method, as water will evaporate, use 1/2 to 1 cup liquid and bake the
cut at 225 degrees for (I forget, I think it was about 1.5 hours per lb?).
Higher temp cooking will make it tough as shoe leather. 6 hour cook time
estimated. (you save a whopping 2 hours on the crockpot and spend 5$ or so
vs 20 cents).

I know a sauce pan method too but it's asian, not southern. 2 CUPS soy
sauce, 1/2 CUP worstershire, 2 cups water for 'loo' sauce. Boil it in that
then save the sauce and defat to use for a second meat. Takes about 2 hours
on simmer. Not as good but works.
