Is there a difference between a slow cooker and a crock pot? What is the difference between a crock pot and slow cooker? Both terms seem to be used for the same thing.  Is this correct?  Are they the same?  Or is there some key difference between them?
Crock-Pot is a brand name.  Slow cooker is the generic term.  

It's like Kleenex &amp; tissue or for the Brits, Hoover &amp; vacuum.
