Once you have heated meat, or any food that ontains bacteria that multiply in warm conditions, you must go on cooking until the dish is done. You could simply use cold ingredients, ie don't brown meat before cooking. In this weather your kitchen will probably be cool enough for the food not to stay cool until the timer kicks in. Personally I would suggest that the electricity saving will be minimal as slow cookers are very cheap to run anyway.0 -

1kilo of mince(doesn't matter if meat / soya) ( i use the cheapest mince in the supermarket)
2carrots chopped
1 tin of tomatoes
handful of red split lentils or 1 handful of porridge oats
2 onions chopped
2 cloves of garlic crushed
Put in about a pint of water
salt, pepper
herbs (optional)
Shove in slow cooker on low for about 6hours or on the cooker till it becomes thick but may need more water on the cooker.
I then split this up onto 4/6 meals, depending on what we have.
You can then use the mince to make bolognese, chilli (just add kidney beans and chilli powder), lasagne etc
As your doing the meals just bulk up with veg to make it more filling.
Buy a whole chicken, roast it as usual.
Strip the leftover meat off and use it in other meals e.g curry, sandwiches, wraps etc
Boil the chicken carcass and use it to make a stock and use it to make soup etc.
Out of a chicken i make about 5 meals out of it.
Try and buy bulk pasta and rice it will cheaper in the long run and is great for bulking out meals. Hope it helps
