Re: crockpot/slow cookers...recommendations?

You can't leave your oven on all day while you are out of the house, you can with a crockpot.

Well, that's why I included the caveat about safety features. If there's some auto-shutoff or something, then a crock pot makes a lot more sense for a home, where the cook is going to be absent, than a real kitchen, where people are always there. But even that doesn't make a ton of sense to my limited electrical knowledge. Why is there a greater danger of an oven electrical short than there is a crock pot electrical short? Is it something to do with the oven heating a bigger space than a crock pot?
