Today, I took the lid off my slow cooker to serve up a casserole that had been 12 hours in the making. A cockroach took the opportunity to dive in. My husband and I are now eating toast, while the delicious smell of casserole taunts us from the trash. FML

Hi, OP here, to answer your question, the slow cooker was sitting on the bench, underneath a shelf in our kitchen. As I took the lid off, the roach came from above, literally jumping into the pot! So I definitely did not see it before I took the lid off!

Here's a cockroach trivia for you, OP. When you see a cockroach, it is most certainly not alone. Who you gonna call?! The exterminators. You should call the exterminators.

Unfortunately it also repels most humans.

Yeah yeah, keep recommending exterminators. I've lived 10 YEARS with roaches and there's nothing I can do about it because I live in an APARTMENT!

Hell, if it just fell in and wasn't actually cooked into the casserole... Scoop it out, eat the food.

I can tell you that the smell may not be the greatest but it fades quickly for our scent range. But it repels for a while

for real tho, why didn't you just scoop out the part that the roach touched? why would you throw out the whole thing if you spent 12 hours making it??

because the roach wasn't in there long enough to kill any diseases out was carrying and they could have gotten deathly ill.

just throw the roach away and the bit it touched, princess. your immune system needs a little exercise. it's not gonna kill you. YDI.

Just a cockroach?! Pick it out and eat the casserole. If anything just throw away the small part that it was in
