English term or phrase: crock cook

And instead of charging them $5,000 a day to come out and work on it and do a two-day immersion and then have you go and maybe not understand it, we're going to crock cook it. You're going to get a set of tapes to start with to listen to and ground you and then, every month, we're going to take a different issue, we're going to work it out, you're going to go out, you're going to apply it,you're going to try it, you're going to report back.
