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.

An hors d'oeuvre ([also hors d'oevre]), appetizer, or starter is a small dish served before a meal.

Some hors d'oeuvres are served cold, others hot.

Hors d'oeuvres may be served at the dinner table as a part of the meal, or they may be served before seating.

Formerly, hors d'oeuvres were also served between courses.

A side dish, sometimes referred to as a side order, side item, or simply a side, is a food item that accompanies the entrée or main course at a meal.

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.

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.
