Definition:

A slow cooker (often referred to as a Crock-Pot, though this is registered trademark for specific manufacturer's type of slow cooker) is a countertop electrical home appliance that is used to cook stews and other dishes containing water at relatively low temperatures, with correspondingly long cooking times (several hours). Many recipes simply call for the ingredients to be put in the crock, with little preparation. The slow cooker can then safely be left to run unattended, making it a convenient cooking method.
