Slow Cooker v Crock Pot

I have read all the slow cooker recipes on the other forum and have decided I want one. BUT what is the difference between a crock pot and a slow cooker ? Where will I get the best deal to serve a family of 4? Can you pot lids and pot into the dishwasher? Thanks very much x

Not an expert on cooking, male gender. Slow cookers tend to be metal outers with inbuilt heater. Inside is a snug fitting crock pot. On top is usually a glass lid. The outer need no real cleaning, the lids are usually dishwasher safe but the ones I have seen say that you should not get the bottom of the crock part wet.
Last one I purchased was from Asda. Lets face it they aint that expensive so you are never going to save a fortune. Still worth checking the "high street" stores on the net though.0 -
I thought they were the same thing. We use our slow cooker all the time as we're both out at work. We even use it when we're in as the meat cooks really tender.0

Slow cookers and crock pots are pretty well the same thing. The more expensive ones have a few more controls on it. The cheaper ones just have your basic low and high setting. There are ones that are all one piece except for the lid, which will go in the dishwasher. There are also ones that have a ceramic pot that sits inside a metal liner, which comes out to clean, which I find easier than trying to wash it without the plug dropping in the sink. They can also go into the microwave if you want to start it up faster, hope this helps.0
