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.
