Question: Crock Pot and Slow Cooker!?
What's the difference between a Crock pot and a slow cooker!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
Nothing!. A "Crock Pot" is a brand of slow cooker!. Crock Pot has become synonymous with slow cooker, the way Kleenex has become synonymous with tissue and Clorox has become synonymous with bleach!.

Crock pot – Crock-Pot is sold by Rival Industries, but "crock pot" and "crockpot" are common synonyms used by cooks to describe slow cookers[4]Www@FoodAQ@Com

Crock Pot is a brand name!. Slow cooker is a category of kitchen appliance, which the Crock Pot brand belongs to!.

Many slow cookers use a crock, which is the ceramic insert!. That's where much of the confusion comes from!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I have both, the slow cooker cooks faster!. I have the kind that sits on a heating platform that you can use to make pancakes,grilled sandwiches on!. Love it, a 4 pound beef roast is done in 2 1/2 hours fully cooked!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Same thing!. I have two--a six quart monster I got for $6 from Goodwill, and a 1-1/2 qt model that's good for oatmeal, other hot cereals, or for chili!. (At least that is what I use it for!.)Www@FoodAQ@Com

To me a 'Crock Pot' is made of crockery and is small!.

A slow cooker is made out of SS and they can be quite large!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
