crockpot w/ timer?
I love my current crockpot, but would like to get a new one with a timer to start the cooking - so I could have it start up while we're at work and dinner will be ready when we get home. I think they make them like this. Any recommendations?
Re: crockpot w/ timer?
I don't have a rec for a crockpot, since I mine doesn't have a timer. But, another option would be a timer outlet plug... something like this -- http://www.amazon.com/Woods-59200-Appliance-Settings-2-Prong/dp/B001Q9EFTG
Or, here are two more options for the same type of outlet timer: http://www.improvementscatalog.com/product/digital-light-and-appliance-timer.do

Way cheaper than buying a new crock pot, especially if you love yours!
By saying you want to have it start up while you are at work, you are looking for a delay timer? I wouldn't recommend that because that would require you to leave raw, uncooked meat out on the counter, exposed to air, thus growing bacteria, and essentially spoiling the food.
My crockpot has a timer, but its for when you start cooking it. It will then turn itself to the "keep warm" function when the time is up. I set mine for 8 hrs and then it will stay on the warm setting for 2 more hours, so this allows us to get home from work with enough time that the food is still warm.
This. Crockpots don't have a delay for this very reason.
I also have a crockpot with a timer that starts when you begin cooking and then switches over to Keep Warm. If I were planning to cook something while I was at work, I'd pick a recipe that I could cook on low for 8-10 hours.

I have this one & I like it a lot. My old crockpot only had a 4-6-8-10 hour settings. This one lets you do 1/2 hour increments. I like it a lot. Though, I do find it to cook fast, so I'll usually set it for 1/2 hour less & let it "keep warm" until I need to serve.
