Slow Cooker (Safety)

By Hklbrries

Dear Heloise: I am writing regarding a prior column about safety and slow cookers. The reader places the slow cooker on the stove in case of something boiling over. I would like to add that I don’t place any appliance that emits heat near other appliances, where it can heat up and possibly cause the electric cord to burn or melt. I also don’t put the appliances near any moisture.

My advice is to place the slow cooker on a cookie sheet with raised sides. This is how I use mine if I think it could possibly boil over.
