There is only one Crockpot and it's Rival, it patented the name when it came out in 1970. I got mine not long after they hit the shelves. All others are slow cookers, however, they do the same thing they just can't market them as Crockpots. I will check my original manual to see if there are any egg dishes in it. I don't really recall ever seeing one, but will tell you one way or another. I have a Hamilton Beach Slow cooker and a larger Rival Crockpot at present.
