question
can this all be done on a stove top and let simmer for at least 4-hours just like a regular stew would need
thanks

Yes, but it should be ready in about 2 hours. If not, you can let it cook a little longer, but four hours would be too long. I looked up recipes that use stove-top, and they are about two hours. Hope that helps!
