Slow Cookers
Slow cookers, also known as Crock-pots, are small or medium electronic cooking appliances used to simmer food at relatively low temperatures over a period of hours. This allows for the unattended cooking of stews, pot roasts, soup and other foods. Slow-cooked food also has certain different flavors compared to convection cooked food.

What is the capacity of a pot?

How do you clean a scorched crock pot?
Are we talking about the insert? If it is ceramic, then soaking with a mild solution of bleach will "lift" the scorch marks. Put 1/4th cup of bleach into the crock and fill with warm water. Let this solution soak overnight and empty the next morning. Wash with detergent and the marks should disappear.
If this doesn't lift the scorch, use a light duty scratch pad, the nylon type. Gently rub the scorch and it should just lift right off. Repeat this process if necessary..but I don't think it will be. An alternate to the scratch pad is to use a paper towel and salt.
Now to get rid of the bleach taste and smell. Boil some rice in the pot and discard the rice. Your crock pot should be like new.
Could one use a Slow cooker as a warming tray?
Yes, you can use a slow cooker base (not crock pot) as a warming tray. Of course, the base is not very large, but it can be used as a warmer.
You can also, keep mashed potatoes warm for up to an hour in the slow cooker pot on Low.
Once a crockpot is done cooking, it goes into warming mode. This is when it stays on at just a high enough temperate to keep the food moderately warm. Once the warming period ends, the crockpot powers itself off. Any food in the crockpot will cool off. And it will eventually reach room temperature.

Can you make a roux in a crock pot?
No, you can not make roux in a crock pot. Roux is not a gravy, a sauce, or anything else of the sort. Roux is the base of many sauces & gravies not only in French cooking but Cajun cooking as well. You can make a roux gravy or a roux sauce, the roux itself can not be made in a crock pot.
To make roux you need equal parts oil (a fat) and flour (all purpose is best).
Heat oil in a skillet (frying pan) when oil is warm, close to hot frying stage but not overheated, slowly mix the flour. Continue cooking the oil and flour mixture over medium heat stirring constantly. Cooking times vary, depending on the type of gravy or sauce you desire. 2-3 minutes will produce a very light colored roux, recommended for a milk based gravy/sauce. The longer you cook the roux the darker it will become. Be careful, not only does the oil/flour mixture become very HOT it can burn very easily, constant stirring is a MUST.
I have to add, the best flavored roux is made with butter. The amounts are the same, however, melt the butter before measuring. For example if 1 cup flour & 1 cup "melted" butter.
Also stir the flour into the butter or oil (whichever you are using) as it heats, if you allow the fat to get too hot before adding the flour, the flour will actually fry and develop lumps. Add the flour slowly stirring constantly to ensure proper mixture. The flour will make the fat thick and heat up along with the fat and begin to darken.
