No way! You never know if you are going to be late. I love my pets too much to try to risk it.
I love my pets too...I fail to see how using a crock pot during the day equals me not loving my pets....my pets are so spoiled, they are more spoiled than the kids are. lol I have 2 types of crock pot, 1 with a timer and 1 without. When I only had the one without the timer I didn't use it if I wasn't home, now I have one with a timer and it automatically switches to warm when it's done cooking. It has 4 settings, High for 4 hrs, High for 6 hrs, low for 8 hrs and low for 10 hrs, then after that time it switches to warm. I keep mine on my stovetop (glass stovetop) and keep it away from the cord and pulled out from the stove top controls. Maybe you need to look into one witha timer?
I may run a few errands while I have it on but I don't use it if I'm going to be gone all day. Then again I don't use the crockpot for a meal we'll be eating that same day. I'll cook a pot roast or something like that but then I let it cool in the fridge so I can get the fat and gristle off. The thought of eating that makes me want to become a vegetarian.
Oh ew, I hate fat and gristle too...but I just trim it off (well actually I tend to make DBF do it LOL) before we eat it. lol
