Crockpot Slow Cooker is Born in 1971

The Crock-Pot slow cooker, used in so many kitchens around the world, debuted over four decades ago as a simple bean cooker at the National Housewares Show in Chicago featuring a basic crock interior, glass lid, and red exterior; the new product was an instant success.

At this time, the Crock-Pot brand defined a new way for homemakers to serve an affordable, tender, delicious meal to their families using inexpensive cuts of meat and offered assistance to busy moms caring for their family with a convenient cooking method that helped minimize time in the kitchen. Crock-Pot slow cookers are a part of many fond family memories as a recollection of favourite dishes and cooking aromas from generations past.

Over the years the Crock-Pot brand has continued to advance with new innovations that meet the demands of today’s modern lifestyles and help fulfil self-expression of creative cooks at home. From manual slow cookers to fully-programmable, automatic-stirring slow cookers, they continue to develop products that address the needs of households today. It is easier than ever to enjoy a flavourful, convenient, home-cooked meal without having to spend time any in the kitchen.
