Great for setting a time for things to go on and off.
Going away plug a lamp in it set the timer and it will look like you are in as the lights will come on and go off at the set time.
Put your slow cooker on for a few hours and don’t worry about it as long as you set the time to go off. Dinner will be ready when you come in and it won’t be over cooked. Please tell me what day and time you can collect it.
