Summary: A slow cooker is a counter-top, electrical home appliance that is used to cook stews and other dishes at relatively low temperatures, with long cooking times. Many recipes simply call for the ingredients to be put in the cooker with little preparation, after which the slow cooker can safely be left to work unattended, making it a convenient cooking device. The modern slow cooker was developed with the trademark name, Crock Pot, and so this name is often used to refer to any slow cooker. Recipes intended for other cooking methods must be modified for slow cookers. Often water must be decreased, as cooking at higher temperatures requires enough liquid to allow for evaporation.
