So you could start them up while you were out, and have closes
washed or
dinner cooked on your return? I know that a timeswitch is nearly as
good, but only if your return time is entirely predictable.


Is it really such a wonderful idea to put, for example, uncooked meat,
vegetables, water, etc., into an oven many hours ahead of cooking?

Its OK by and large, if you have a rat proof oven.


I don't want my evening-meal-to-be to have been a festering mass of
bacteria for hours - which can happen in kitchens that are warm whether
due to heating or weather. The cooking might kill them but the toxins
that can be produced are less than ideal ingredients.

I am not concerned about rats in the oven.

I assume you are simply too young to remember life before refrigerators?
