slow cooker question

I have my brisket etc in the slow cooker but now I am having to go out.
Is it safe to leave it on?
Will be gone for a good couple of hours!
Now I would never leave the cooker on so im not sure about the slow cooker!
Dont really want to turn it off as I would have to wait till it has cooled before putting in the fridge then start the cooking procedure again (if thats even safe!)
TIA

hi - it's fine to leave it on - that's what having a slow cooker is all about - popping it on and then going off to work etc. It will be fine.

Might want to turn it down to low if you're not sure when you'll be backPlease forgive me if my comments seem abrupt or my questions have obvious answers, I have a mental health condition which affects my ability to see things as others might.0

I'm leaving my oven on while we're all out this afternoon.
It is definitely safe to leave a slow cooker on while you're out. That's the point of them isn't it?0
