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.

Cast iron is a group of iron-carbon alloys with a carbon content greater than 2%.

Its usefulness derives from its relatively low melting temperature.

The alloy constituents affect its colour when fractured: white cast iron has carbide impurities which allow cracks to pass straight through; grey cast iron has graphite flakes which deflect a passing crack and initiate countless new cracks as the material breaks; ductile cast iron has spherical graphite "nodules" which stop the crack from further progressing.

La Dolce Vita (Italian for "the sweet life" or "the good life") is a 1960 Italian comedy-drama film directed and co-written by Federico Fellini.

The film follows Marcello Rubini, a journalist writing for gossip magazines, over seven days and nights on his journey through the "sweet life" of Rome in a fruitless search for love and happiness.

La Dolce Vita won the Palme d'Or (Golden Palm) at the 1960 Cannes Film Festival and the Oscar for Best Costumes, and remains one of the most critically acclaimed films of all time.
