i just want to know your opinions
i am going out at about 10 and may not be back until 6 do you think a whole chicken will be ok left for that long
i will put a lemon in the pot and some onions and then the whole chicken and set it on low but was worried that if i left it that long it will over cook
what do you think

Not sure, does your cooker have a low setting. Maybe look on the net

Hi . . . I have cooked a whole chicken in the slow cooker . . . on at 10am on high (it was my first time and I wanted to make sure it was cooked in time for after schoolies) and it was ready and delicious (and no one got sick :D ) by 4pm!
As suggested above, perhaps leave it on the low setting and whack up to high for a bit when you get home to make sure it is properly cooked.
Enjoy your shopping trip!

p.s. the meat just drops off the bones . . . it is delicious!

I leave mine for ages. it is when it is turned off and left warm that the bacteria will grow
Did you buy much?
hi
because none of you answered in time i tried it and have just got home to it
the house smells lovley and the chicken looks fine
i didn't buy very much but had a fab time with miffy she is such a good laugh we chatted and laughed all around the shops.
after she left i went back to debenhams to look for pressies for xmas and found a radley bag for my daughter that was £85 reduced to £70 as it was old stock then because it was slightly marked reduced by another 20% so i paid £56 for a £85 bag
she will be thrilled and if she decides that it isn't the one she wants then hubby can give it to me instead
