Sweet Potato in a Crock Pot

Since my oven is still out for repair, the rice cooker is full of rice, and it's too late last night when I remembered that I planned on having some sweet potato for breakfast the next day, I was left in a bit of dilemma on how to have them cooked on the fly in the morning.

My solution? The slow cooker! 

Problem:
I want to wake up with food almost ready or me to eat without having to wait to boil on the stove or roast in the oven.

Situation: 

1. oven out for repairs anyway

2. boiling would also take a few minutes

3. I can't use the rice cooker and have a timer since it's full with rice 

Solution? slow cooker

How?

1. Wash and dump 4-5 medium-size and 1 small-sized sweet potato in the pot
2. Add 3/4 C of water but I doubled mine for good measure since I don't want to risk cracking my Crockpot. Who knows what time I'll be able to turn it off and how many hours I will have it there the next day. 
3. Set to cook in LOW. As it turned out, 7 1/2 hours! 

Here's how much water was left. The sweet pots were still solid and didn't crumble but cooked. I don't know about the taste coz maybe it's not that sweet to start with but definitely good enough for our breakfast without a lot of hassle in the morning. 

I'll try to do an experiment later if I reduce the water or set it on HIGH when I can totally keep an eye on it just to be safe. Winter is almost here so slow cooker for soups and oven will be used more frequently.
