The clock

Start to finish
at least 6 hr 12 min4 of 6 steps give no time
Needs you
about 12 min
If you get it wrong
Narrow — six hours holds the shank on the bone where nine does not: the meat lets go and slides off into the sauce
What you'll wash
Three things — the slow cooker crock, the skillet, a shallow dish to dredge the shanks in
Does it keep
3 days — the shank left the bone hours before you ate it, so what you are keeping is a marrow ragù

A cup and a half of liquid. Shins want to arrive at tender and stop.

>> step: dredge in the flour
Dredge @veal shanks{4}(3 lb / 1.4 kg total, tied), @all-purpose flour{1/3%cup}(40 g), @kosher salt{2%tsp} in a shallow #dish{}.

>> step: brown 12 min in a skillet, both faces
Brown @&(~1)floured shanks{} in @unsalted butter{3%Tbs} in a #skillet{} for ~brown{12%min}, both cut faces, keeping the strings on so they stay together.

>> step: soften, deglaze the skillet clean
Soften @yellow onion{1%large}(finely chopped), @carrot{1%large}(finely chopped), @celery{2%ribs}(finely chopped) in the same skillet with @&(~1)browned shanks{}, then pour in @dry white wine{1/2%cup}(120 mL) and scrape the base clean.

>> step: braise on low, 6 hr
Slow cook @&(~1)pot{} with @chicken stock{1%cup}(240 mL) in a #slow cooker{} on low for ~slow cook{6%hr}, the shanks standing upright in one layer so the marrow stays in the bone.

Chop @lemon zest{1%Tbs}, @flat-leaf parsley{1/4%cup}, @garlic{1%clove} to a gremolata.

>> step: scatter over
Scatter @&(~1)gremolata{} over @&(~2)osso buco{}, which is raw and sharp against six hours of braise and is the reason the dish is not heavy.
