On: Three girls, a dead raccoon, and a crockpot

Just FYI, crock pots are slow cookers and don't keep the contents under pressure.

I might be missing something, but a pressure cooker is a completely different thing to a crock pot isn’t it?

Well there are dual cookers that can do both.

But anyway, in the article a crock-pot is used, while bluedino mentions a pressure cooker, so I was just clarifying that a crock-pot is not a pressure cooker. But maybe I only added confusion. :-(

You are right. I cannot seem to figure out how he went into the topic of crockpots from the other comment. Unless some of them look alike and he was just trying to make people aware of not mixing them up?

I have a pressure cooker, but I only ever use it in the crock pot/slow cooker mode. I guess the two are quite similar, except for the lid.

They aren't at all. There are some electric devices that can do both. A regular, old school pressure cooker is in essence a simple pot with a lid that gets affixed and has a vent to regulate pressure. It goes on your stove top just like any other pot.

And something I recently learned is that a slow cooker should never go on the stove...it melts
