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.
