Slow cooker
An electric slow cooker warms a removable heavy crock under a lid. Stored heat aids gradual cooking, but its settings are not a universal fermentation thermostat.

Crock-Pot Cook & Carry SCCPVL500FB · Crock-Pot SCCPVL500FB-033
The SCCPVL500FB is listed by Crock-Pot as a French Bull-pattern Cook & Carry manual slow cooker. Its stoneware crock and heated base cook on Low or High; the WARM setting is only for already-cooked food, not fermentation or cooking.
A model-specific manual slow cooker
Crock-Pot Canada's support catalogue lists SCCPVL500FB-033 as a Cook & Carry manual slow cooker in a French Bull pattern. Its owner's guide is headed for 4–7 quart manual portable slow cookers, but does not establish the exact capacity of every unit sold under this model code. This entry follows the manual's stated family range rather than inferring capacity from the digits in the model number.
The guide identifies a removable stoneware pot, a heating base, side handles, heat settings, a gasketed lid, wire loops and locking levers. It instructs users to cook in the supplied stoneware, not directly in the electrical base. The cooker has Low and High cooking settings and a WARM setting.
The locking lid is for transport
The paired wire loops and lid levers secure the lid for carrying; the guide explicitly says not to cook with the lid locked. Lift or carry the appliance by its side handles, never by the lid handle. This travel feature does not create a pressure seal: this is a slow cooker, with no pressure-cooking system described in its manual.
That distinction separates the SCCPVL500FB from an electric pressure multicooker. The latter seals a pressure vessel for a separate cooking mode and may include other model-specific programs. This manual Crock-Pot is a simpler heated-crock appliance; its lid clips should not be read as a pressure mechanism.

WARM is a serving hold, not incubation
Crock-Pot says WARM is only for keeping food warm after it has been cooked, advises against cooking on that setting, and does not recommend holding food there for more than four hours. Low and High are cooking settings, not calibrated fermentation temperatures. The manual supplies no yogurt or fermentation program, temperature range, or validation for holding an inoculated batch.
A recipe that warms milk in a slow cooker does not turn this appliance into a thermostat-controlled incubator. For fermentation, use a method or device whose temperature range and safety are documented for that purpose; do not infer such performance from the WARM label.

Stoneware care and source limits
The guide says the removable stoneware is oven- and microwave-safe, but not for a stovetop burner or broiler. It warns against sudden temperature changes and says to unplug and cool parts before cleaning; the heating base must not be immersed. Follow the instructions supplied with the actual unit if its revision differs.
The model's name and broad Cook & Carry form are supported by the official guide. Photographs in the gallery show other Crock-Pot slow cookers, not positively identified SCCPVL500FB units, so they illustrate shared component forms rather than verify the model's exact French Bull decoration.
History
The exact SCCPVL500FB-033 appears in Crock-Pot Canada's official manual catalogue. Neither that entry nor the guide states a first-sale year or manufacturing location.
Equipment details
CapacityThe model guide covers 4–7 quart manual portable slow cookers but does not establish the exact capacity of SCCPVL500FB; do not infer it from the model number.
SizeNo exact dimensions are established by the sources used.
PowerElectric The guide documents an electrical heating base but the consulted copy does not give a legible wattage or voltage rating; check the unit's rating plate.
How you get oneBought, manufactured A manufactured household countertop appliance. No country of manufacture is established by the consulted official sources.
CareUse only the supplied stoneware for cooking. Do not lock the lid during cooking; carry the cooker by the side handles. Unplug and let it cool before cleaning. Do not immerse the heating base or expose hot stoneware and lid to sudden temperature changes.
Made of
- Ceramic stoneware — Removable cooking crock
Named as stoneware in the model guide; no exact ceramic composition or glaze is specified. - Gasket — Seal between the removable lid and crock for transport
A gasket is listed on the component diagram; it does not make the cooker a pressure vessel.
Limits
The guide says WARM is only for holding already-cooked food, not cooking, and advises against using WARM for more than four hours; it does not document fermentation incubation or a controlled temperature range.
Source →The Cook & Carry locking wires and levers are transport hardware; the manual explicitly says not to lock the lid during cooking. The product is not a pressure multicooker.

Crock-Pot Cook & Carry Manual Slow Cooker, French Bull Pattern, SCCPVL500FB-033 Owner's GuideThe guide identifies SCCPVL500FB-033 as a Cook & Carry manual slow-cooker model and is headed for 4–7 quart manual portable slow cookers; it does not state an exact capacity for every model-code variant.
The component diagram names removable stoneware, a heating base, gasketed lid, wire loops, locking levers, handles and heat settings.
The lid-locking mechanism is for carrying and must not be locked during cooking; the guide says to lift the unit by its side handles, not the lid handle.
WARM is only to keep already-cooked food warm, is not a cooking setting, and is not recommended for more than four hours.
The stoneware may be used in an oven or microwave but not on a stovetop or under a broiler; avoid sudden temperature changes, unplug before cleaning, and never immerse the heating base.
