Is a Stock pot same as crock pot?

Answer 1

No, a stock pot is a large, deep, straight-sided pot for preparing stocks and simmering large quantities of liquid on the stove top. A Dutch oven is shorter, thick-walled (usually cast iron) pot with a tight fitting lid. Commonly referred to as a 'camp oven', it is meant for braising or slow-cooking and can be used in either the oven, stove top or directly over hot coals on a campfire.

Answer 2

The difference between saucepans and Dutch ovens are that saucepans are used for general cooking on a stove top. Dutch ovens are designed to be used when cooking over and open fire. The lid on a Dutch oven allows users to place coals on the top of the lid.

Answer 3

No, a crock pot usually means a ceramic bowl in an electric case that cooks food slowly. A stock pot refers to the shape and size. It's usually a very large pot used for cooking stock, or broth to make into soup. A stock pot sits on a low flame on back of the stove and leftover bits of food and vegetables get thrown in.

Answer 4

Same concept, but different methods of heating. Crock pot has the heating coil around the outside of the crock. Dutch oven is a heavy pot, usually cast iron with a lid that is used on top of the stove, in the oven or over a fire. Both surround the contents with heat.
