Many slow cooking recipes have two options of how you can cook the recipe: a longer cooking time on low heat, or a shorter cooking time on high heat. From what I've seen, it's often something like 3-5 hours on high or 8 hours on low.
You can still use the slow cooker function if you're gone along period of time using one of those programmable timer. There exist analog ones or digital ones.
I've only ever used the analog ones and they were fine. Basically, if you've never seen one of these before, you plug in whatever electronic device you want into it, and you program the timer to shut off electricity to the device at a certain time. This is basically the same sort of thing people use to make their TVs or lights turn on at certain times of day as a sort of burglar deterrent when they're away on vacation. I used one of these timers to to turn on the lights in the morning half an hour before I woke up - like a super cheap, DIY gradual wake-up sun lamp.
Anyway, the way you can use this with your Aroma cooker is: if you leave at 9am for 8 hours, and you only want your Aroma cooker to cook for 3 hours, you plus the Aroma cooker into that timer, let it start cooking on high, set the timer to turn off at 12. It'll then only cook for 3 hours.
On certain devices like lamps, TVs, and simple coffee machines, you may also be able to use the timer to get the device to turn on at a specified time. I'm not sure what your Aroma cooker is like - if it's something where you can flip a switch even when the device is unplugged to have it start slow cooking, where it's just waiting for a power source in order to start cooking, then you can use the timer to program it to start cooking after a certain time past, say, 9am in our example. That way, you wont have to worry about the food getting too cold for recipes that have a shorter cooking time. Hope this makes sense. Feel free to ask for clarification.
I mean something like this :)
