I worked at home for 20 years so I was always there to start a crockpot meal whenever it needed starting. I'm gone from the house now from 5am to 5:30 pm and my family is missing some of the crockpot meals I used to make. Most of my recipes require cooking for between 6 and 8 hours so I can't really start it before I leave in the morning.
I thought of getting a slow cooker with a timer... I could get everything in the crock at night and put it in the fridge. In the morning I'd put the crock into the cooker, set the timer and leave. It obviously wouldn't start cooking for several hours... Is that ok? I don't want the food to spoil while waiting for the cooker to start.
Does anyone do something similar to this?
Any advice is appreciated
