I can't believe I forgot to turn it on!

Yep. I forgot. I made stew in the crockpot this morning before we went out for the day, came home, and realized I never turned it on.

It's supposed to cook on low for 6 - 8 hours. I turned it on high at 1:15. If I cook it for four hours on high, will that work?

Done that plenty of times

Try it.....It has worked for me before

It worked well. . . it was very good in fact. Thank you!

That has happened to me to many times

Also we have a bad outlet in our new place and I plugged in the crockpot only to find it didn't cook.

glad it worked

Oh so glad it turned out...

Here is my worst:
I had a very expensive roast which I was expecting to be our "meat" for the rest of the week! It was huge and organic, pastured, hormone-free - blah blah, from a farmer here in town.
I threw it in the crock pot with a little beer and onions and left for the day.
We came home to a "funky" smell.
Turns out there was a layer of plastic wrap around the meat that I couldn't see when I tipped it out of the outside package.

I may have cried about that.
