Pressure cookers are designed to cook foods such as meats and vegetables with steam and under pressure faster than they would cook using normal cooking techniques. Crockpots are designed to cook foods slowly under low temperatures. They are especially popular with cooks who like to put meals in the crockpot and cook them while they are at work so the food is ready to eat when they get home. A lot of people also like them to cook soups and stews.
