Slow cookers achieved popularity in the United States during the 1940s, when many women began to work outside the home.[2] They could start dinner cooking in the morning before going to work and finish preparing the meal in the evening when they came home. The Naxon Utilities Corporation of Chicago, under the leadership of electrical engineer Irving Naxon (born Irving Nachumsohn), developed the Naxon Beanery All-Purpose Cooker for the purposes of cooking a bean meal.[2] Naxon was inspired by a story related by his mother, how in her native Lithuanian town his grandmother made a traditional Jewish stew called cholent, which took several hours to cook in an oven.[2][3][4] A 1950 advertisement shows a slow cooker called the "Simmer Crock" made by the Industrial Radiant Heat Corporation of Gladstone, New Jersey.[5] The Rival Company of Kansas City, Missouri, bought Naxon in 1970, acquiring Naxon's 1940 patent for the bean simmer cooker.[2] Rival asked inventor Alex MacMaster, from Boonville, Missouri, to develop Naxon's bean cooker into a large scale production model that could cook an entire family meal, going further than just cooking a bean meal. Alex also designed and produced the mass-production machines for Rival's manufacturing line of the Crock-Pot. The cooker was then reintroduced under the trademark "Crock-Pot" in 1971.[2] In 1974, Rival introduced removable stoneware inserts, making the appliance easier to clean. As of 2016, the Crock-Pot brand belongs to Newell Brands. Other brands of this appliance, past and present, include Cuisinart, GE, Hamilton Beach, KitchenAid, Magic Chef, West Bend Housewares, and the now-defunct American Electric Corporation.
