A slow cooker is a pot that sits UPON a heating element.
Mine is in in the shape of a rectangular roaster. The roaster inside is Teflon coated and is dishwasher safe. The heating element (I have) can also be used as a griddle (it's also Teflon coated).
A crock pot sits IN a heating element. Some crock pots cannot be removed from the heating element, for cleaning. You either pick up the entire thing and careful wash it out, or use liners. Others have inner pots, which can be removed for washing.
They both work about the same.
