Well, one of the first crock pots were made out of wood, and lined with crocodile skin so there werent any leaks. So they named it the crocodolo pot. Over time, people have shortened it to the crock pot. Almost unbelievable eh?
The temperature settings on a Rival Crock-Pot are listed by increasing temperature meaning that the high setting is represented by the higher numeral and the low setting is represented by the lower numeral. So, "I" means low and "II" means high.

The Naxon Utilities Corporation (in Chicago) first developed the Beanery All Purpose Cooker in the 1950s; it was originally invented to cook baked beans, hence the name. The Rival Company bought Naxon's assets in 1970 and began marketing the Beanery in 1971 under the Crock-Pot® brand. Crock-Pot® is now owned and marketed by Sunbeam Products. Today, similar cookware is also marketed by other companies, though Crock-Pot® retains the largest market share.
