[Blindtlk] Any suggestions regarding a slow cooker?

[Heather Field]

Hello Jim,
In my opinion, you will have trouble finding a slow cooker with a timer that 
is not digital.
the simplest solution is to buy one of those timer switches. You plug it 
into the wall and the appliance is plugged into the timer switch. I had an 
old one that was set by depressing a certain number of sections in a circle. 
It would shut off the electricity after a certain number of hours. I don't 
remember anything about the make or model, but I believe this is the best 
approach to take.
Keep us posted on what you end up doing.
Warmly,
Heather

Hello,



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.



Jim
