You don't have to soak them. Just rinse them off in a colander & then put them in the slow cooker w/ plent of water & salt, and let them cook till they're tender. It's that easy.

Usually an hour or two.But why would you want to soak 'em if you are going to use a crockpot ?It will do the work for you !! Just make sure you WASH the limas several times in cold running water to remove any residual pesticide. Personally I use "VeggieWash". It's at your local grocers and not terribly expensive.

Until they are soft, about 6-8 hours.
