I was going to use the company's slow cooker version of their 15 bean soup: https://hurstbeans.com/recipes/15-bean-soup-crock-pot-or-slow-cooker-recipe.
Admittedly, I don't know hardly anything about cooking dried beans. Tried to cook a bag on the stovetop and burned them. 😑 So now since I have a long day tomorrow I thought I'd try the slow cooker method.
I will likely put the beans on around 6:45am. I probably won't get home until 6pm at the earliest. The recipe says to cook the beans on HIGH for 6-7 hours. Is that right? I feel like it should be low? But again, I know nothing of beans. The recipe states they can simmer for a bit longer. Just how long can I leave it in the slow cooker safely if it's on high?

They’re soaking overnight, right?
Soak them in water overnight
I have used their slow cooker recipe for years and the soup comes out fine using the directions.
1lb of cubed ham from the store works just finely. The high temp they recommend for 6 hours seems a bit much, but it’s accurate. If you’re gone for 12 hours, low temp will work. I recommend a sprinkle of Kosher salt foe flavour. Those are some dense, dried beans, and they take time to soak-up the broth.
Edit: if you leave that shit on high for 12 hours, you’re gonna have some military-grade tank armour paste.
