I'm a bit confused about the differences between a crockpot and a slow cooker.

A crockpot is a slow cooker, but a slow cooker is not necessarily a crockpot. A crockpot is a type of slow cooker that has a ceramic insert that allows food to cook slowly at low temperatures for long periods of time. Slow cookers are generally electric or stovetop models that can be used for cooking soups, stews, and other dishes that require long, slow cooking times.
