Re: Ignorant: how are crockpots safe?
the bottom of a crockpot may get uncomfortably warm depending on what setting you have it on, so you may want to place it on a heat resistant surface (i put mine on my smooth-top stove). otherwise, it's really no different than leaving your water heater on during the day when you're not at home: there's a covered electrical heating element keeping a container of liquids warm.
