You do need to be careful. We have a programable crock pot, that will cook for so many hours and then put on "warm". On a couple of the ones that only take 4 hours, we thought we could drop it in before, work, set for 4 hrs, and then have it stay warm until we got home from work. A couple of times, it ended up overcooking. So the ones that have lower cooking times, keep those when you won't be gone for that long.

Our crock pot has a delay timer which would work out well for these. Also, I work from home so it will be easier for my to start the crock pot at 3pm. Thanks for the help, looking forward to trying out some of these recipes.
