There are power supplies that can be turned on and off through the use of a
timer. So you plug any electrical device into the power supply, plug the
power supply into the timer, set the timer, and forget it.

How do you have the timer start the crock pot at a certain time? Is the
timer separate from the crock pot? Just not understanding what you mean.
thanks

Get a crock pot or slow cooker with the simplest controls you can, so you
don't have to deal with accessibility issues, then also grab a timer so
you
can just plug it in and have the power come on at the right time to the
crock pot. You can also boil water and use it to make noodles, rice, or
other things that might not stand up to the longer cooking times and put
them in when you eat.
And BTW, welcome to the list.

Good afternoon,
My name is Jim, and it's funny that I'd subscribe to this list, as I
am hardly a cook. I'm a bachelor who is hardly ever home and doesn't
have time for a lot of cooking, but I'm also hoping that will change
because it's expensive to eat out a lot. I can do a bit more than
boil water, but don't ask me to cook, for a ton of people, things that
aren't easy.
Anyway, here's my question. Being new to the list, I have absolutely
no idea if this question has been asked, and if so, please forgive the
repeated question.
So, after about 20 years of having a very simple slow cooker, it's
time for a new one after I was somewhat careless and breaking mine a
little while ago. I'm a bachelor, and slow cooker or Crockpot recipes
are great for me because I don't have to worry about much effort when
it comes to cooking.
However, lately, I seem to be getting home later than before, easily
being out of the house for twelve hours.
Some of the recipes I've done call for cooking somewhere between six
and eight hours, and after twelve hours, some foods kind of dry out or
become somewhat sticky or like paste <grin>.
So, do any of you have any recommendations for a good slow cooker or
Crockpot with perhaps a timer function that would be accessible to
blind people? I somehow doubt there'll be one that does what I'm
looking for, but I just thought I'd ask.especially blind people who
might have similar experiences. I've been online, looking at the
supposedly easy programmable ones, but what scares me is the digital
setting ability.
Any suggestions would be great.
Jim
