Hey folks, quick question - is keeping my slow cooker on high throughout the entire day safe? Got a busy schedule ahead and considering this for dinner prep. Would love some insights or experiences you might share. Safety first, obviously, but hoping for convenience too. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Leaving your slow cooker on high all day is generally not recommended for safety reasons, as it can lead to overcooking and potentially drying out your food. It's best to follow the recipe instructions and adjust the cooking time and temperature accordingly. If you need to leave it unattended, opt for the low setting for longer, more gentle cooking.

Slow and steady wins the race! Keep it on low for tender, melt-in-your-mouth goodness—high heat all day might turn your dinner into a surprise scorcher!

Leaving your slow cooker on high all day can dry out your food and potentially burn it. It's best to use the low setting or a timer for longer cooking times.
