Question – What is the difference between crock pots and slow cookers?
Question by Val: What is the difference between crock pots and slow cookers?
I have a crock pot that my mom gave me a while back but i always find slow cooker recipes but not as many for a crock pot. So I just wanted to know the difference.

There is no difference. Crock Pot started out as a brand name of slow cookers- kind of like how we call all facial tissue Kleenex.

Crock-pot is a registered trade mark. Some people are more compliant to those niceties than others.
There is no difference between a “crock pot” and a “slow cooker”
It is the same thing.
Crock pot is a registered trademark for a brand of slow cooker.
The modern slow cooker was developed by Rival Industries with the trademarked name Crock Pot. This name is sometimes used informally to refer to any slow cooker. Rival purchased and refined the design of a bean-pot called the Beanery from Naxon Co. of Chicago.
none.
none. But don’t get confused about One Pot meals, they are not all for crockpots. I LOVE my crock pot! You can do alot more then just soups! I make a yummy BBQ brisket-which anyone can do. I love to use it for home made chili too! The things you can do with a crock!
I’m pretty sure that a crock pot is the same as a slow cooker.
crock pot-crazy broad making no sense
slow cooker-woman who cooks slowly
