What is the temperature of a Crock Pot? Can I use my creuset Dutch oven like s crock pot in the oven set at a crockpot temperature?

I don't actually use a slow cooker, but it's a less scary idea to me to leave one on low all day while I'm at work, as opposed to leaving the oven on low while no one's home, which I would never do. That strikes me as the main advantage - it's an electrical appliance vs. a gas oven.

I have never owned a slow cooker....a heavy duty dutch oven has always done me good....plus, I nearly always like a bit of control over the evaporation in my stew/braise, and its difficult to do that in a slow cooker.

Remember, before there were slow cookers, there were Dutch ovens.

A slow cooker is simply a modernization of any ancient cooking tool because it can be programmed to conveniently start while you are away from your kitchen.

The convenience and unattended cooking are what make slow cookers attractive to contemporary consumers. Before there were slow cookers, people used Dutch ovens.

Crock Pot is the brand name. Generic term is slow cooker. So low and slow should do, either in oven or on stovetop.
