(Contributed By: Joe Sweeney)
The Crockpot, otherwise known as the "slow cooker," is an electric "casserole" that cooks food with low, steady, moist heat. It is designed to cook food over a period of 8 to 12 hours. These appliances range in size from 1 to 6 quarts. Slow cookers can cook a dish while you're at work. They don't heat up the kitchen.
