    Tooch the SC should be fine on the worktop, that's where mine is infact I wasn't aware you were supposed to use a worktop saver? :confused:

    My SC just sits on the worktop too - it would only be the crockpot itself that you shouldnt sit on the worktop if its hot. xx

    Emily, just reading back and saw you got a stain on your top – have you managed to get it out? I had some little tiny splatters on a top once from cooking a tomato sauce and they wouldn’t come out so I sewed sequins over them and put more sequins randomly over the whole top – it was a plain top transformed into a nice sparkly one! I wondered if something like that would save your top from the bin!

    Glad you weren't hurt FFPrincess, please try to eat or what if you drank some soup? Would that be ok?

    I'm going for a nap now, see you all later. Keep up the hard work everyone's doing really well xx
