So convenience, bad food, and twice as likely to kill you and burn your house down. I figured it out.

Ok, well I have no idea where you're getting those stats from but I can tell you I personally don't feel safe running an oven all day and would never do it (when I'm not home).

Most people would feel the same way, and not leave their oven on, which is probably why it's at 3 percent. Objectively, its safer to leave a crockpot on all day than a gas oven. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except deaths mean that the people are home. Which means that the crockpot, which probably is only used 20% of the time (and that’s being generous) an oven is, still kills 2x as many people. We’re talking at least 10x as likely to kill you when you’re home, and you think it’s safer to run when you’re not home? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A crockpot is definitely safer than leaving your oven on https://www.consumerreports.org/slow-cookers/why-the-slow-cooker-fire-on-this-is-us-is-actually-unlikely/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pwny Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Slow cookers are responsible for 8% of fires involving death, while ovens are responsible for only 3%. On the other end of the scale, slow cookers and ovens cause just about the same number of minor injuries (4% versus 5%, respectively). Both ovens and slow cookers, by the way, are dwarfed here by ranges and cooktops, which account for 61% of kitchen fires, 86% of kitchen-fire-related deaths, and 78% of kitchen-fire-related injuries. If we look even deeper, things get even more interesting. While oven fires cause $45 million in property damage annually, slow cookers cause almost double that, $79 million. Oven fires tend to be confined within the oven itself, while slow cooker fires can easily spread to other parts of the kitchen. Some folks have said that they are more reluctant to leave a gas oven on than an electric oven, and one might assume that gas ovens and ranges are inherently more risky than electric ovens and ranges, but that's actually not the case. Turns out that though 60% of households use electric stoves, they account for 80% of accidents. From the article already posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely pretty good and decently tender We started carrying ground bison at work it makes very good everything except hamburgers. Wasn’t super impressed with my bison burger.
