Both have merit, but do different jobs.
With a slow cooker, if you want to pre-brown the
meat, you need a separate vessel.
Induction hobs don't work with all cookware.
(in passing, slow cooking is quite easily
achieved with cast iron cookware in an oven.
Further, saucepans that are simply MADE of copper
are available, and very good, but monstrously
expensive)
With my (indulgent) idea, I can brown the meat
in a "normal" pan, and then slow simmer on my
copper-plate.
It's just a whim, and cheap enough that
I may well indulge it.

we've got some, but they go rusty and crappy-looking rather fast. Copper
plate would be nicer. I was thinking about a solid steel one.

Ah - I missed that; my little perforated ones are aluminium.

Alu would make more sense. I shall invest, I suspect. the steel ones
looked nice initially but whatver they're coated with is not gas-fire-proof.

Aah but if you slather them with cooking oil then burn it off they last much
longer :-)
