We need to find a simple microwave that my mother can use. Need auto shut off as she falls asleep during process. Recommendations?

Perhaps the alternative would be to have home-delivered meals brought in to her. Your local Area Agency on Aging could help you out with this process. Most programs for home-delivered meals have a no-cost/donation only program for elderly individuals. I work in the industry of elderly care and haven't seen or heard of any such microwave that would shut off in the event of burning food.

Most home delivered meals for the elderly are pre-cooked, but arrive cold. (Beacause the drivers couldn't possibly deliver all of the meals hot). Most "meals-on-wheels" services for the elderly expect that the elder will (re)heat the meal in a microwave oven. However, many elderly, due to dimentia, alzheimers, "senility", etc., make mistakes in selecting the cooking time. E.g. pushing the buttons 1-0-0-0-start, which results in 10 (TEN) minutes cooking vice the desired 1 (ONE) minute cooking time will often burn the food and container to the point of fire or near fire. My mom does this often and walks away as soon as the buttons are pushed to do something else while her food cooks. So when it starts to burn she is not there tom see the danger, and has forgotten that she has food in the microwave. (Until her hunger tells her to go to the kitchen again). This is very common among elderly. What is needed is a SIMPE microwave that has just 2 (two) buttons: 30-second, and 1-minute. The microwave would only cook for that amount of time (at only one power setting) and no more (i.e. no cummulative time setting capability). If the elder has to run it for multiple cycles for a larger meal than the typical "meal-on-wheels", then so be it. At least the home won't be burned down with an elderly inside.
Why dooesn't some manufacturere make such a microwave: do they think there is just not enough money in it? One would think that todays elderly numbers. along with the baby-boomer retirees, would provide a large enough market.

What I am hoping for is that someone will identify a simple microwave that could be safer for the elderly. It might even be considered an otherwise "cheaply made" microwave because it offers very few options; which is just what would be useful in this case.

auto shut off? microwave ovens are disposable. I have an idiot proof nuker cooker myself. 100 bucks at Fry's grocery store. try a website called consumer research.
maybe you can find some ideas there.

oh, and have an electrician disable the real stove. that can be a hazard even for people who supposedly have all their wits about them. in days of olde, people stood around watching what they were cooking. we're all in too too much of a hurry nowadays. where are we gong anyway? what is the hurry? I don't know. it was a rhetorical question.

I looked at Consumer Research and Consumer Reports but they only give advice on buying a typical microwave and do not consider auto-shut-off features. Other reviews and blogs that I've read only talk about the internal component auto-shutoff that some microwaves have, so the electronics don't ingnite, but none of them identify an auto-shut-off feature based on the food or cavity temperature. (Some microwaves DO ~claim~ to have a shut-off based on the level defrost reached, including my own new one, but that is a too advanced feature for elders, doesn't handle cooking (just defrost) and doesn't really deliver on its promise anyway.)
I'm asking if someone has seen a "cheap-o" as I described above, with just a couple of buttons.
