WHAT IS A SLOW COOKER
A slow cooker, Crock-Pot (a US trademark that
is often used generically), or Slo-Cooker (a UK
trademark that is often usedgenerically) is
a countertop electrical cookingappliance that
maintains a relativelylow temperature
compared to other cookingmethods (such as
baking, boiling,and frying), for many hoursallowing unattended cooking ofpot
roast, stew,and other suitabledishes.

HISTORY OF SLOW COOKER
The Naxon Utilities Corporation of Chicagodeveloped the Naxon Beanery All-PurposeCooker[1]. The Rival Company bought Naxon in
1970,and reintroduced it under the Crock-Potname in 1971. In 1974, Rival introducedremovable stoneware inserts.[2] The brandnowbelongs toSunbeam Products,a subsidiary
ofJarden Corporation. Other brands of thisappliance include Hamilton Beach, West BendHousewares andMagic Chef.

WHAT IS THE DESIGN OF SLOW
COOKER
A slow cooker consists ofalidded round oroval cooking pot made ofglazed ceramic or porcelain,surrounded bya housing, usuallymetal, containingan electric heatingelement. Thelid is often
transparent glass and is seated inagroove in the potedge; condensed vapour collects in that grooveandprovides alow-pressure seal to theatmosphere.Pressure insidea working crock pot is thereforeeffectivelyat atmospheric pressure,despite the water
vapor generated inside the pot. A crock pot therefore issubstantiallydifferent froma pressure cooker andpresents no danger ofanabrupt (perhaps explosive)pressure release.

The ceramic pot, or a 'crock',acts as both a
cooking container anda heat reservoir. Slow
cookers come ina variety of sizes, from 500 ml
(16 oz) to 7 liters (7.4 quarts). Due to the
placement of heatingelements (generallyat
the bottomand oftenalso partway up the
sides), there is usuallyaminimumrecommendedliquidlevel to avoid
uncontrolledlocal heating.

Many slow cookers have two or more temperature settings(e.g.,low,medium, high,and sometimes a "keep warm"setting). A typical slow cooker is designed to heat food to170F (77C) onlow, to perhaps 190-200F (88-93C) on
high. Many recipes that include sauce or liquid will reachthe boiling point around theedges, while food in the centerremains gently cooked. This is because slow cooker settingsare based on wattage,not temperature[3]. Some slowcookers sold in the US in the past severaldecades didnotchange temperature, regardless of setting,at all;each
setting brought the contents to full heat, with the onlydifference in setting being theduration of heating. This mayhave beendue to concerns about product liability fromunsafe food holding temperatures.[citation needed]
