slowcooker
Low-temperature stew maker
A slowcooker is an electric kitchen appliance that cooks food at low temperatures over several hours.
A heating element surrounds a removable pot, allowing soups, stews, and tough cuts of meat to simmer unattended: I threw everything in the slowcooker before work.
Also spelled as two words: slow cooker.
