pot cooker

also called pot-and-base cooker

A cooking appliance that cooks food in a REMOVABLE crock or pot seated on a heating base — the family of crock cookers. Beyond any cooking appliance's heat regulation it answers its pot capacity (the food/liquid volume of the removable crock) and, optionally, the cooking programs (recipe presets) it offers. A SLOW COOKER is a pot cooker whose heat is preset low / high / warm (heat_setting = preset); a RICE COOKER is a pot cooker that automatically senses completion and switches to keep-warm (heat_setting = automatic) — neither adds an answerable question beyond a pot cooker's, so both are pot cookers distinguished by a heat_setting value and an optional program menu, not separate kinds (L3 fold). A MULTICOOKER / electric pressure cooker refines it further (it adds a real sealed-pressure slot) and is its own subclass. Distinct from a deep fryer (a hot oil bath, no removable food crock), a toaster oven (a dry radiant air cavity), and a non-powered stovetop pot (unpowered cookware, not a member here).
