Wikipedia
A slow cooker, or Crock-Pot (a trademark that is often used generically in the USA), or Slo-Cooker (a trade mark that is often used generically in the UK), is a countertop electrical cooking appliance that maintains a relatively low temperature (compared to other cooking methods like baking, boiling, and frying) for many hours, allowing unattended cooking of pot roast, stew, and other suitable dishes.
[edit] About Slow Cooker
Slow cookers are a group of elecric appliances, usually made of two parts:
Ceramic or crockery cooking pot
Electric heating element
Sometimes the two are permanently connected, sometimes the pot is removable. Slow cookers often have different heat settings, such as low, medium, high, and automatic.
They are used for several different tasks. A common use is to keep food or hot drinks (such as mulled apple cider) warm for serving. They are also great for cooking foods at relatively low temperatures over a very long period. Great for beans, stews, and pot roasts.
