    Thank you. So are they 100% safe to be left on whilst out at work?

    Mine is about 120watts - so the equivalent of about 2 x 60 watt light bulbs ;)

    They do get quite hot but on a worktop, making sure nothing that might melt is touching them, they are fine left all day - ours is often on for 10+ hours or sometimes overnight ;)

    Many people do and have no problems. They are designed to be left unattended for hours.

    Thank you both for your replies. Just trying to figure out whether this would be a worthwhile investment for me, I'm wanting to start cooking from scratch.

    get a cheapy one and see how you get on with it. I'm sure you get get them for about £20??

    I love mine from autumn onwards.

    Come home from work to pipping hot stews, currys, soups what ever I choose to bung in it.

    I make my stock from chicken bones in it too - left over night.

    sits in the cupboard most of the summer though, but could be used all year I'm sure with a bit of imagination.

    Asda was selling a smallish one for 7quid last week. that's a lot cheaper than argos circa 35, or wait till jan sales and get one for 20sih. though i'd get the asda one if i needed another. mine is sitting downstairs bubbling away nicely right now...
