Too high? Slow Cooker question

tim_n

Made a chicken curry this morning from a pataks curry paste.

I put it on high with the intention of lowering the temperature when I left for work.

I forgot.

I put it on about 9:30am, won't be home till 4:30ish. Will I return to find my flat burned down/inedible curry?

Hi Tim, I think your curry will be ok. Just a little over cooked. It is very difficult to burn food in a SC, just turn it off as soon as you can.

Tim sorry but I imagine it will be quite black and burnt. I have managed to burn stuff twice in the SC - both when on HIGH. It's a dangerous setting! Now i tend to just use low or auto.

I can't seen your house burning down though, don't worry (easier said than done)

Of course it depends on the power of your SC but I can't imagine it being too edible.

The bit in the middle will probably be ok I think it depends on your sc. I'm confident I could leave mine on high for longer and it wouldn't be too burnt. I reckon your house is safe this time

Left work early - it was black round the edges but cooked in the middle, so edible.

Kicking myself because I thought about it three times before I left and remembered halfway down the road, but thought 'nahhh, it'll be OK!'
