A low wattage slow cooker featuring a wrap-around heating element for heating the side walls of the cooking vessel and a top heating element for browning food items is disclosed. The top browning element is integrated into a lid assembly of the cooker and is provided with quick connect/disconnect electrical connectors, which provide for convenient removal of the lid assembly for food service, cleaning, and storage. The wrap-around heating element and the top heating element are interconnected by a controller for heat regulation and selectively energizing the desired heating elements individually or in combination. The wrap-around heating element and the top heating elements are constructed in alternative embodiments utilizing different configurations of resistance wiring for versatility in manufacturing and cooking applications.
