Schmortopf
Explanation:
I have never seen an electric crockpot in Germany, only the slow cocker pots you either put on low heat on the stove or into the oven, but a Schmortopf accomplishes the same thing as a crockpot.

agree  xxxulysem

agree  sylvie malich: take a look on ebay, they're being sold in Germany by an electrical firm who converts them to 220 volts, but should one translate a brand name? A crockpot is also a historical peice of crockery, the generic term would be slow cooker...

spezieller Topf zum Garen


Explanation:
laut Leo ist das ein spezieller Topf, in dem bei geringer Hitze Gerichte über Stunden hinweg gegart werden, sozusagen ein "Langsam-Kochtopf" oder auch "Gartopf" (?)

ein wichtiger Unterschied zum Römertopf ist, dass der crockpot über ein Heizelement verfügt
