The slow cooker never catches on fire, that I have ever heard. On low, it is around 300 degrees or so, but it cooks gently on low. I have often left a slow cooker cooking while I went out for a few hours and came back with a meal all ready, and I did not have to do anything else to the dish when I got home.

It sounds like we both like the same kinds of meats. I only would add to ask if anyone could help us to cook beef liver Rabbit and squirrel meats, a good steak and fixing a roast with carrots and little potatoes as well while using the Talking toaster oven. I love the French bread pizzas in the talking toaster oven. I also love doing hot dogs and the thick pork chops from Sam's club and or the 32 ounce burgers and or the chicken thighs. I think you're going to enjoy this list. I've learned quite a bit of tips and tricks since subscribing to this list myself. I too like yourself am totally blind from R.P. So enjoy the list.
