Is this a slow cooker under the Crock-Pot brand name or is this an actual crock pot? Looks to me that this is a slow cooker and not a crock pot.

It's a crock pot looked at it many times on other sites and reviews before purchasing it. Love it.

I've always used the terms interchangeably. According to the box, this is a "Crock Pot" Brand item, "The Original Slow Cooker". I believe the SC in the model number stands for Slow Cooker. Hope this helps!

It's a slow cooker under the Crock-Pot name, just like all tissues are called Kleenex....but....it's a very good unit. Less than half the price of a very expensive similar unit which only lasted us a little over a year. My only complaint about this cooker is that the illumination of the control panel should be brighter. However, if you bend down so that you are looking straight at it, it's fine. Buy this one. You won't be sorry.

I checked this out on the crock pot web site and it is an original brand crock pot and it works very well

A crockpot heats on all sides (bottom and sides). A slow cooker only heats from the bottom.

This is the most amazing crock type cooker you will ever need. I have 2 smaller ones. Found this and I am extremely happy with it. I cook a lot and slow but fast cooking and keeps warm after done. It is a coated stainless the best I can tell because it is heavy. I have had zero complaints on these cookers. For me the only one I would buy over and over

Well, this cooker does not have a timer and does shut off intermittently when desired/set temperature is reached. There also is no default as the temperature is set using the dialpad. (200 to 425 degrees). It is notable that this cooker is not as deep as a crock pot/ slow cooker and tends to cook at a hotter, drier heat. It does NOT work like a crock pot. Hope this helps.

Check the recipe book that comes with the Slow Cooker. This is not a programmable unit. There are many helpful suggestions for all kinds of wonderful things.

My Maytag stove has a glasstop induction heating sytem and this works great to cook in. I do have to check it to make sure nothing sticks (like chili or soup with meat) but if it starts to, it comes off easily. Even on a low setting though, your ingredients will get warm quickly so as far as a slow cooker, I don't know if this will work. I used my crock pot the other day with a beef roast and veggies and it cooked for 8 hours. Using this LeCreuset on a stove, it will not take 8 hours to cook anything.

Crock Pot is a "commercial name" for a slow cooker. There are many manufacturer companies that sell "slow cookers". It similar to "Kleenex" and tissue. Many people call a tissue a "Kleenex".

There's a recipe site called RecipeGoldmine that has a section for Crockpots and a sub category called Crockettes that has recipes for small slow cookers like this. I think you'll like it.

A dedicated slow cooker is not necessary. Just unplug the device from the sous-vide controller to use it again as a slow cooker.

My slow cooker will reach a very gentle boil on high, though it takes a long time. I am not a particularly patient person so it's seems like a long time. If you are like me (impatient) do not use the slow cooker for reheating cooked foods after they were refrigerated. It takes forever :-( I put the food in a pot and put it on the stove. This is a slow cooker and does that well.

Yes it is. It is a true slow cooker. I bought it based on their recommendation and I LOVE IT.

I have not used this item as a crock pot (slow cooker). I use it for warming food that has been prepared previously. I have found that the temperature control can easily be set too high. If you are careful with this setting it should work quite well. A trial and error method will work for you if you have the patience and product to experiment in this manner.

I bought this and returned it. It works fine as a slow cooker. My slow cooker doesn't have a vent but it doesn't seal like a pressure cooker. I've reviewed this product see "mesomad"'s review for my details. Just not worth the $$.

Yes, if you read through the reviews, the inside of the removable crock is not bpa free and mine has started to bubble and flake off, I have been using the Reynolds Slow Cooker bags in the pan which seem to work great, however, I DO NOT recomment purchasing this slowcooker.Answer here...

I have done a lot of research on crock pots and watched many youtube video on how to make this and that. Every manufacturers temperature setting is a little different, but what you need is a food thermometer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykRnHXwoOic So many of the times on youtube are correct for cooking. It is trail and error.

This one doesnt have a delay cook; it will keep your food warm once cooked. You can get delayed-start crock pots, for instance Williams Sonoma has one, but they are very pricey (the one at Williams Sonoma is almost $300 I think.)

Did some web checkng and am not finding anything. A site called replacements.com used to carry. Perhaps it's time to buy an updated model. I know--this is a great slow cooker. Don't know why they stopped making them. Sorry I couldn't be of help.
