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.

The range - with a gas flame? You need a crock pot!


The dryer is fine who are you people. Did you just get your first dryer?

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

Of course not. And no to the oven.

Hell no! DH thinks it is ok to leave the oven on or dryer running - I have reluctantly allowed the dryer.

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.)
