Reduce stock in a crock pot

Not sure if this is all that novel an idea but I discovered something new today.

I was doing a little pre-season freezer management and pulled out that last dozen pheasant breasts I had and dumped them in the crock pot. After a few hours, I picked the meat for jambalaya and tacos, but I wanted to save the stock, but reduce it down. In the past I had transferred it to a big pot on the stove and simmered it. Instead, I just turned the crock pot on for a few more hours and left the lid with about an inch gap.

It reduced done to about 1/3 of its original volume and was perfect for jarring. No worry about temperature or anything. One less pot to wash.

So apparently cooking stock in a crockpot is a "thing".
