There is no such thing as a crock pot. Crockpot is the brand that invented the slow cooker. Crockpot is the original slow cooker. We have many different models to serve individual needs, including an array of sizes, programming and features.
The other brands of slow cookers do not perform like the original slow cooker - Crockpot Slow Cookers. With the thick heart of stone that "cooks all day - while the cook's away." Buy the real one, the original, the same brand of slow cooker your Mom and Grandma used; you will most likely know the difference.
