Jim,
Welcome to the list.
The Koschutta store at Blind Mice Mega Mall has slow cookers/ crock pots.
They have the simple models, with settings of off, low, high,and warm.
Unfortunately nothing digital is adapted with speech for the blind.
I have used a light timer before to turn the crock pot on about 8 hours
before I was to be home...
just plugged it into the outlet and the crock pot into the timer...
Worked fine.
I will send you a list of their crock pots off list!
Also, please check out our cooking show :
Cooking in the Dark
Here is the link to our archives.
The shows are subdivided by year and month...

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
