What is a crock pot? Is it like a rice pot?

Question

What exactly do you use it for, and is it the same as a rice pot? I'm Asian, and my family uses a rice pot. We only use it for rice. Are they the same thing? They sure look the same.

Answer 1

its a slow cooker u can just put your food in in the morning and leave it.then eat at diner. its really hard to burn food in it. food comes out very tender too

Answer 2

They are not the same thing... A crock pot is also known as a slow cooker.  It will not make rice as it does not get hot enough to boil.  A rice cooker or steamer is usually made out of metal.  The crock pot is made of ceramic.

Answer 3

a crock pot is a rice cooker. its basically the same thing. :)

Answer 4

I don't know if it is the same, I don't have a rice pot.  A crock pot has a ceramic crock inside the heating device.  I have one that has a removable crock and I can use it as a deep fryer.  The crock pot slowly cooks your food.  Usually you put the meat and ingredients in in the morning and it is ready in the evening for dinner.

Answer 5

It's an electric slow cooker.  It works differently than the rice cooker because it cooks soooo slowly.  Most crock pots have two settings: low which cooks over 8 hours time and high which cooks over 4 hours.

Answer 6

its kinda like a casserole dish made out of crockery. you can put food in it and stick it in the oven for hours on a slow heat. great for slow cooked lamb shanks etc. i hope i explained that well enough
