Crock-Pot (tm) is a brand name of slow-cooker. Rival makes 'em.

The recipe thread has a slow-cooker recipe for Boston baked beans from scratch.

For many years, Mable Hoffman (that's how she spells it) ruled the slow-cooker Earth. Now some competitors are composing their own slowcookbooks.

The array of heating elements probably has to do with trying to make the heat distribution more even, and a bigger array of elements would speed the time the cooker comes to full heat. A ceramic crock liner is an easy thing to wash, but it's a lousy conductor of heat.
