crockpot

All-day stew maker

A crockpot is an electric cooking appliance that simmers food at low temperatures over several hours, producing tender stews, roasts, and soups with minimal attention.

The name comes from the ceramic pot (crock) that holds the food.

Though Crock-Pot is a trademark, the lowercase form has become generic: I threw everything in the crockpot before work.
