Slow Cooker Question

[Tilly2]

My slow cooker has been on all day cooking steak, kidney, parsnips, carrots, leeks, onions, sweet potato and turnips.
I have just taken the pot out of the metal case, put some cornflour in to thicken it and put it in the oven on 180 degrees to finish off.

Two questions
Is it o.k. to put the pot in the oven? I'm sitting here in trepidation waiting for a loud crack.

We are having steamed new potatoes and broccoli with it. So the only green thing is the broccoli. Are there vitamins in the root vegetables that I've used? I know the carrots are full of vitamins. What about the rest? Is it too much carbohydrate with all those roots?

Thanks, magsmay. That bacon and potato dish sounds lovely. I will follow the tips about thickening things in the cooker.
