A slow cooker, also known as a Crock-Pot (a trademark sometimes used generically in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, the United Kingdom, and the United States), is a countertop electrical cooking appliance used to simmer at a lower temperature than other cooking methods, such as baking, boiling, and frying.

This facilitates unattended cooking for many hours of dishes that would otherwise be boiled: pot roast, soups, stews, and other dishes (including beverages, desserts, and dips).

A wide variety of dishes can be prepared in slow cookers, including ones typically made quickly, such as cocoa and bread.

Dessert is a course that concludes a main meal.

The course usually consists of sweet foods and beverages, such as dessert wine or liqueurs, but may include coffee, cheeses, nuts, or other savory items.

In some parts of the world, such as much of central and western Africa, and most parts of China, there is no tradition of a dessert course to conclude a meal.

An ingredient is a substance that forms part of a mixture (in a general sense).

For example, in cooking, recipes specify which ingredients are used to prepare a specific dish.

Many commercial products contain a secret ingredient that is purported to make them better than competing products.

In the pharmaceutical industry, an active ingredient is that part of a formulation that yields the effect expected by the customer.

Food is any substance consumed to provide nutritional support for the body.

It is usually of plant or animal origin, and contains essential nutrients, such as carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins, or minerals.

The substance is ingested by an organism and assimilated by the organism's cells to provide energy, maintain life, or stimulate growth.

Dinner usually refers to the most significant and important meal of the day, which can be the noon or the evening meal.

However, the term "dinner" can have many different meanings depending on the culture; it may mean a meal of any size eaten at any time of the day.

Historically, it referred to the first meal of the day, eaten around noon, and is still sometimes used for a noon-time meal, particularly if it is a large or main meal.

The meaning as the evening meal, generally the largest of the day, is becoming a standard in many parts of the English-speaking world.
