Supply top recipe in slow cooker (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stockpot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'slow cooker' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'supply top recipe in' is the wordplay.
'supply' becomes 'stock' (stock can mean a supply or reserve).
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'top' with letters rearranged gives 'pot'.
'stock' put within 'pot' is 'STOCKPOT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stockpot that I've seen before include "gravy container" , "Utensil for making soup" , "stew" , "Resource for making soup, etc" , "Container holding base or raw material for soup" .)
