The power strip is not necessarily accessible.  It's just any ol' power
strip.  The timer is accessible.  The device I remember seeing was basically
a power strip with an accessible 24-hour time delayer built into it.  What I
saw used to, but no longer is, sold in a catalog of products for the blind,
from the American Foundation for the Blind, who no longer sells such
products.  So, it might still be available from another such source.

 Good morning, that's a good idea, never thought about plugging a slow 
 cooker to a timer, just like when you plug a lamp into a timer and it 
 turns on and off at a certain time, however, most timers I found, need 
 sight, are there any on the market that someone blind can set by 
 themselves?  Even if you plug the appliance directly to the timer and 
 just plug the timer to an outlet by itself, should work, you wouldn't 
 necessaily need to buy a power strip or surge protector unless it's 
 accessible, I would gather.

 Peace
 Luis

 Excellent.  Any idea what kind of timer to ask for when I go to a 
 hardware store?

 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 

[CnD] Cake in A Mug

2014-11-05 Thread Mike and jean via Cookinginthedark
Have you seen this one? I know there are different versions.

Genius! - 1-2-3 Cake. I love this idea!!!
You need two boxes of cake mix. One can be any flavor you prefer, but the
other MUST be Angel Food cake mix. Mix them together (shake them in a big
bowl). Then simply store the mixture in an airtight container until you get
the urge for dessert. Then just put three Tbsp. of the dry mixture in a big
coffee mug and stir in 2 Tbsp of water. Microwave it for one minute and you
will have a single serving of cake! Top with fruit, ice cream, whipped cream
or whatever! Awesome for those of us who want something sweet every now
without making an entire cake!!!

[CnD] french toast in a mug

2014-11-05 Thread rebecca manners via Cookinginthedark
I did a google search and found this recipe. I think it is from food network. I 
can’t wait to try it. 

French toast in a mug
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1 1/2 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Kosher salt
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 slice white bread
1 tablespoon semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 tablespoon raisins

Whisk together the egg, milk, maple syrup, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a 
large mug until combined.
Evenly spread the butter on one side of the bread. Cut the bread into bite-size 
pieces and add them to the mug, pressing down lightly so all the bread is 
submerged. Sprinkle with the chocolate chips and raisins, nestling them between 
the bread pieces.
Microwave the bread mixture on high power for 2 minutes, pausing every 30 
seconds. Let the French toast cool in the mug about 1 minute before serving.
