Etymology
The word 'crocking' derives from 'crock', which means a thick-walled earthenware pot used for cooking or storage. The term 'crock' itself can be traced back to the Old English word 'crocc', meaning a pot or vessel. Over time, the cooking method associated with these pots evolved, leading to the modern practice of slow cooking, popularized in the mid-20th century with the introduction of electric slow cookers. The process emphasizes the importance of patience in cooking, allowing flavors to develop fully. As more people embraced convenience in meal preparation, the term 'crocking' became commonly used in culinary discussions, especially for hearty dishes that require longer cooking times to reach optimal tenderness.
