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. Many slow cookers have two settings for power. Slow cookers have loosely fitting lids (often of glass or similar material) to retain moisture and heat.
