Food related - will this be okay?

[HalfWayAroundTheLoop]

I've had a bolognese in the slow cooker on fast since 6.30am and I'll switch it off at 11.30am. I'm heading off out at noon until 3pm ish.

Will it be safe to leave the food out of the fridge cooling down until 3pm? Then in the fridge until serving time at 6pm.

Thanks all, feeling really reassured 😃

Take it out of the slow cooker and put it into a cold container whilst it's cooling. It should be fine for 3 hours.
