Hi all. I just purchased a slow cooker that can be turned on and off through my iPhone. This is pretty neat. However, I work crazy long hours and I'm out of the house for 12-14 hours each day.
I found several slow cooker recipes that were 4-7 hours long. If I loaded the slow cooker at about 7am (right before I leave my house) and then turn it on at about 2pm from work, just in time for me to come home to a hot email at 8pm (yup, long days at work for sure), what do I do about the period of time between 7am-2pm where meat and food is just sitting in the slow cooker? Is that unsafe? Any advice here, please and thank you!
