  Slow-cooker: Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours or on high for 2-3 hours. 

  Pressure cooker: Adjust top knob to sealing and cook on high pressure for 20 minutes. Let it naturally release, which may take up to 15 minutes. In a rush? do a quick release-- use a spatula/wooden spoon to move the top knob to "vent" as steam will come out quickly.
