Whats the difference between a Crock-Pot and a Slow Cooker?
Nothing. Crock-Pot is a brand name of the first type of slow cooker, formally under the Rival label. There actually isn’t such thing as a “crockpot”—-although many people do call their slow cooker a “crockpot.” There are many manufacturers of slow cookers on the market, and while I happen to use Crock-Pot slow cookers, I have heard from countless people how in love they are with their Hamilton Beach, Cuisinart, All Clad, etc. If you are in the market for a new slow cooker, I’d recommend reading the reviews on Amazon; I have not tested out the different makes and models personally.
