Synonyms:
Crockpot
Description:

A slow cooker is an electrically driven kitchen device for simmering food over several hours. The alternating electric and magnetic fields at the fundamental frequency of 50 Hz resp. 60 Hz are caused by the heating process of the heating coils.

Frequency ranges:
  • 50–60 Hz
Type of field:
electric and magnetic
