To worry about leaving slow cooker on?

[just2comment]

Sorry it's a boring one!
It's made it's at out of the depths of the cupboard as I want to make meals that are ready for when we all get home on my working days.

I'm worried to leave it on all day whilst no one is home! It will be on from 8.30am to 6.15pm, is that too long? I feel scared I'll come home and the house has gone up.

I work random late shifts and frequently leave mine on from 10am-10pm. It's lovely to come home to a warm kitchen that smells as though someone cares enough to cook me a hot meal (I live alone).

They are a fabulous invention.

I used to worry too, if you touch the plug it on the wall it doesn't get hot. I'm now more concerned about leaving my phone charging than the slow cooker.

It uses the same electricity as a light bulb and you wouldn’t worry if you left a light on.
