When you go out, do you leave your stove (range) on?

I feel ok with the oven, but what about a flame on a range top?
I'm simmering beans, and they've got 40 minutes to go, but I have to go pick up the kids (which should take maybe 30 min.) |

Hell no! DH thinks it is ok to leave the oven on or dryer running - I have reluctantly allowed the dryer.
The range - with a gas flame? You need a crock pot! |

| Turn off the flame and let them sit. You can cook a bit more when you return |

| Of course not. And no to the oven. |

| No - never the range. The oven I'll *sometimes* leave for short trips out. |

Wow, you all much not do a lot of slow cooking (and crockpot food is nasty).
I leave the range running for 24hrs when I make beef broth and a few other things. I did it this weekend as a matter of fact. Turned the broth on at 6PM, went out to eat, came home, went to sleep, got up went to the gym, went to brunch, went to a game and then came home and turned the broth off. I leave the oven running quite often for 3-8hrs and I'll leave and go to my kids basketball games. |
