A pot and a slow element
This category has the quietest listings in the catalog. Several of them state a capacity, a control word and nothing else at all. Not one of them states an in-one figure.
What the listings describe
A pot, usually stated as removable and usually described as stoneware or ceramic. A lid, sometimes glass. A housing with a control on it. Capacity in quarts, or in servings, or in both, or in neither.
Two listings here describe their control with the single word programmable and attach no figure to it. One states a count of heat settings. One states nothing about capacity at all, and this catalog leaves that field empty and says so rather than filling it from somewhere else.
What this site does not say
Nothing here concerns contents, timing, temperatures or results. The one temperature figure in this category is a claim a listing makes about the material of its pot, and it appears on this site as that and nothing more.
What does not change when the count changes
The pot and the housing. A listing can call itself manual, call itself programmable or count its heat settings, and the arrangement described underneath is the same removable pot in the same heated housing.
