Yes, Sherri, they are the same thing. As someone said, Crockpot, which is written as one word with an uppercase C, is a registered brand name. Marilyn, sadly, they are making slow-cookers so they do cook hotter, and, consequently faster, than before. I heard a cooking show hostess discussing this a few times on her show. She said there were concerns food was not reaching proper temperatures to kill bacteria, and there were cases of illness from this. She believes--and I agree--that people simply were undercooking the food. Anyway, regulations now have forced the makers of slow-cookers to make them hotter. I can no longer put something in the Crockpot before I leave for work in the morning, because it will be overcooked by the time I get home, and due to the hotter temperatures, the liquids will be nearly gone. Those of you fortunate enough to have the older Crockpots, hang onto them!
