where do you place your crock pot?

[Anonymous]

I've recently started cooking with the crock pot we got as a wedding present years ago, but we have formica countertops and I'm not sure if it is safe to place the crock pot on them for extended periods of time. Am I doing damage to the countertops with my crock pot set on high for 4 hours or off gassing something in the plastic?

Just curious what others do who have formica in their kitchen.

thanks

I either put it on a trivet on top of the counter or on the burner of the stove.

On the laminate countertop. Never had any problem.

Same.

I actually thought this would be about where do you store it.
