Morphology
The constituents 'crock' (a ceramic jar) and 'pot' (a cooking vessel) make it clear to a B1 learner that this refers to a type of cooking container, so the general concept of a pot for cooking is derivable. However, 'Crock-Pot' is a proprietary/genericized brand name for a specific electric slow-cooking appliance and the precise sense (electric, low-and-slow cooker) and brand status are not fully predictable from the words alone. Because the basic idea is transparent but the specific modern appliance sense and trademark use are not, the expression is best judged semi-transparent.
Etymology
Crock Pot comes from the old word crock meaning a 'clay pot' and the word pot, so the name gives the image of a pot that cooks food slowly for many hours. That's why 'Crock Pot' now means an electric 'slow cooker'.
