Human: What are some of the benefits of a crock pot? Assistant: 

1. It's easy to use – just put your ingredients in, set it and forget it!
2. It cooks evenly – no matter how full or empty your crock pot is, it will still cook food at the same temperature for the same amount of time.
3. It's energy efficient – since it uses an electric heating element, you can save on energy costs compared to traditional cooking methods.
4. It's cost effective – with minimal effort, you can create delicious meals that won't break the bank.
5. It's healthy – because it cooks slowly and gently, it preserves more nutrients than other cooking methods.
