8 to 12 hours - are you boiling for that long or just simmering in the crock pot?

Just simmering on low.
Butter is weird with boiling. It has the ability to reach very very high temps, and cooking oil even higher. Water can't get any hotter than 100, so you stay safe.
My pot on low keeps the temps at about 85-90 celcius, so very close to boiling, but no quite.
