    When I use mine Becky, I leave it on overnight, or all day. It's fine.

    I leave mine all day and then food is cooked and ready when I get home - it's great.

    I only did it overnight once and the smell was so lovely I kept waking up in the night very hungry!

    Yes Becky you can leave them on all day - make sure you get one with low/med/high settings on though as you don't want everything cooked on high for 8 hours.

    I did a gammon in mine yesterday....chopped carrots and onions in the bottom - popped the gammon joint on the veg and added a pint of water and some crushed mustard seeds......opened it 4 hours later and the meat was falling to bits.....(and the most gorgeous stock to make into soup)....Tomorrow I shall be making a sausage cassarole (of sorts)...sausages chopped up (I brown them first), onions, peppers, mixed beans, passatta, garlic, herbs and a splosh of red wine. Yums.

    my heating is just turning off

    Just read my digital display thing adn it's 19.2 degrees. I normally have the tempt at 20 degrees anthing warmer and I'm too hot!

    The slow cooker thread on teh OS board is a very good read for anyone looking to invest in a SC or has one and wants some ideas on what to do with it!

    The other thing is I dont eat a lot of meat - mostly fish so I'm not sure how it would hold up in an SC - I also really like the taste of grilled food (the charred taste is nice!), plus my kitchen is tiny...hmm

    Will check out the SC thread anyway and see :)
