+1 for the slow cooker. You can buy a smaller 2 liter one if you are concerned about space. There's a lot of benefits:
* Prepare huge amounts of meat (in the smallest one you can prepare up to a kg of meat).
* Very simple meal prep. Plop some meat, throw some salt in, add some sauce (soy sauce, spicy or whatever you prefer), add some liquid (water usually) and turn it on. 5 minutes or less.
* It never boils, so the water level never rises, avoiding spills (or having to even worry about it). So you can leave it overnight for the 8+ hour cooking process.
* You can transform cheap, tough cuts of meat (like Gulash soup meat) into fantastic tasting dishes.
One of the best things about a slow cooker is that the meat softens up, it uniformly absorbs all seasoning, and it makes the meat release its best fatty flavour.
