Default Timers for electric range top burners ???

This is also an issue, surprisingly frequent, for persons with Narcolepsy and Cataplexy. So many times the food was burned, and way too many times also, I have managed to regain function/wakefulness in the nick of time before fire resulted. Sad to say my only cooking resource is to 'nuke' everything.
Does anyone know of a 200V relay with adequate Amperage rating to set up as a timed "kill" switch for electric stoves?


Get a 40a SSR.

That will run directly off of a solid state timer like a 555 or you
can run it off a wall wart plugged into any small spring wound timer.
I had one on our cook top when our daughter was learning to use the
stove. I used a 15 minute spring wound timer.
