Am I going to burn down my house?

Options
Made a suet pudding with left over roast dinner for our tea tonight - but stupidly used a different bowl than I usually do and so it won't fit in the slow-cooker. I have instead put the pudding in a large oven tray with a couple of inches of water in, double wrapped the pudding then wrapped the whole thing in foil. The oven is due to cook it for 6 hours at 140 whilst I'm at work today.

Am I going to burn down my house or should it be OK? DS is due home from school about 4 so he can turn the oven off then but it would have still had 4 hours!

Thank you :)

    Hi,
    Don't think you'll burn down the house but it may dry out in 4 hours??? the slow cooker setting on my oven is at 100 degrees.
    You could microwave it? I do a 1 lb pudding, with pre-cooked filling for about 12 minutes on full power - I just put a plate over the dish whilst cooking.
    Good luck!
  • Aah - forgot to say I'm at work as is DH both 1.5 hours away and the oven is due to come on at midday!

    I think the best thing to do is get DS to change the oven temp to 100 when he gets in from school or even just turn it off and let the residual heat cook it!

    Thank you

    Have done this kind of thing when I worked and it was fine......maybe get DS to turn temp down to 100 but dont think you will have a problem.
