 | | A slow cooker, also called a Crock-Pot®, is a cooking device consisting of a pot (typically 10 in (25 cm) across and similarly high) made of fired clay and usually glazed, surrounded by a housing, usually metal, containing a thermostatically controlled electric heating element. |
 | | The ceramic pot, often referred to as a crock, acts as both a cooking container and a heat reservoir. |
 | | In use, the food is placed inside the pot and covered with liquid, the lid is applied, and the unit is switched on. |
