First Jim welcome to the list. Good luck in cooking. This is a
far-out suggestion and I know very little about the product I am going to
describe. I do not have one or know much about it, except for hearing
something about it on the news.
It is a crock pot that is controlled through an iPhone. I have no
idea if you have such a phone or if the software for it is accessible. I do
not remember the manufacturer. But if your interested, I think amazon.com
sold them. I do not remember the price either. There may be other options.

Subject: [CnD] Short introduction and inquiry from the list members
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
