How do I choose between a crockpot and a slow cooker?
assistant
A crock pot is a slow cooker that has a ceramic or stoneware insert. It typically has a lid that fits tightly on the pot to retain heat, making it ideal for cooking stews, chili, soups, and other long-cooking dishes. A slow cooker is a larger pot with an electric heating element that cooks food more quickly than a crock pot. Slow cookers are often used to make casseroles, stews, and soups.
