The Crock Pot is constructed from copper sheet and wire with a painted exterior. Carefully constructed in my studio using sheet metal and wire, these appliances are not found objects. © Harriete Estel Berman, 1983

Clear glass Pyrex lid.
The dial and lettering on the outside is pierced from sterling silver sheet. It says: Consomme, Consummate, Consumed.

Interior of Crock Pot contains "picture perfect" chrome dinette set and a catalog for better living, which is shown below.
