Hmm, good to know. I have a crock pot, at least I think, so I need a slow cooker. I just thought they were different sizes and shapes…who knew? I had no idea they were different either. I have been using slow cooker and Crockpot interchangeably, so I am glad I now know the difference. I love learning interesting facts to share at the dinner table! I use my Crockpot almost every week to cook delicious meals, but I especially like not having to mess with it once it starts cooking, so I guess Crockpots are the best choice for me.
I also believed that a crook pot and slower cooker were two different names for the same appliance! Crook pot meals are great, at first I had only used it for beans, my first crook pot was a very small one given to me as a gift. I have since bought a larger one and use it an average of three times a week. It is pretty much mistake proof in that there is no worry of food scorching or burning. The easy clean up is a plus as well. One thought. I have an actual Crock Pot brand pot that died after several uses.
It has a digital panel and that is what broke. I loved my old Crock Pots and had no idea when we bought the new one that the temp regulations had changed. Do research…now the low setting is what high used to be and there is no way you could let it cook all day since low brings the food to the boiling point and keeps it there. Lots of comments on the web about this. Good luck with whatever you choose. Oh wow, I just posted another comment about crockpots and slow cookers. I had no idea they were different.
I have neither…but thanks to the article, i now know what to buy…or maybe i could just buy both.. Wow, I always thought they were the same thing!! We have a crockpot but we were thinking of getting a slow cooker thinking it would be better but based on your article, seems like a crockpot is much easier to use.
I had no idea there was a difference. I figured it was mainly a brand name versus generic term, for the same thing. So, apparently I have a crock pot, and I agree, it is a great tool for accomplishing many tasks. I will be searching for some new recipes to try. No metal pot for me. So, mine is a crock pot. Good to know! It does sound safer and, no stirring.
Thank you for doing all that research for us! Really a good look at the choices! I had the pleasure of using the Cuisinart model you featured while visiting family. I felt so spoiled! I would love to splurge on something fancier, but for now our old school model is still getting the job done well. Maybe one day! I too had no idea that there was difference between them. There have been improvement, including the ability to remove the crock to allow for easy cleaning. I never knew there was a difference.
I always thought the words were interchangeable. I am truly intrigued by this post. Like many people who have posted comments, I had no idea that a crock-pot and a slow cooker were actually two different things. I use my crock-pot at least three times a week.
