I'm trying to find out the difference between a crockpot and a pressure cooker.

A Crock Pot is a slow cooker, while a Pressure Cooker is a specialized cooking appliance that can cook food at high temperatures and pressures. Both are used for making food quickly, but they do it differently. The main difference is in how they work. In a Crock Pot, the heat source is from the top of the pot, which slowly circulates through the ingredients inside. This creates an even temperature throughout the pot and allows for gentle cooking. In contrast, in a Pressure Cooker, the heat source is on the bottom of the pot, creating intense heat that cooks food faster than in a Crock Pot.
