What's a good way for a PIC to control (on/off) a crockpot? (120 VAC, a couple hundred watts.) "Good" in this case means simple, cheap, and most importantly, safe. I'm a bit scared of high voltage, and I consider anything over 5V high :) I'd just go with a relay, but I expect there'll be arcing when the contacts close and that makes me nervous.
