slowcooker question -am i right or wrong?

[BoyCrazy]

hi

have got a really silly question, and im pretty sure i already know the answer, but my DF has instilled fear into my head lol

i am cooking red wine beef casserole, its been on for a hour. i have it on low, for 8hrs,

can i leave the slow cooker on all day and can we go out? is it safe? or will it (according to my DF) catch on fire?? *chuckle*

i told him thats what they were invented for, so that u could put it on and then go do whatever (go to work for the day etc etc) & that they have no elements,`and our water cooler has more chance of catching on fire.

am i right? or is he? LOL
thanks

Well i have before. When the timer is over, it just sets it to warm. Ive left it on before...

Although, i havent done it in summer when the room temperature has been alot hotter.

i leave mine on and go out.. I thought that was the whole point of a slow cooker.

Yep, that's what they're for. I'm actually about to put beef and red wine casserole in the slow cooker myself
