ELI5: How does a Crock Pot not burn your food after hours of cooking, even though it’s not being stirred?

Simple enough - they cook at a much lower temperature which is why they take longer. The lower temperature isn't enough to burn your food. Also, they are usually fairly well sealed, so the water in the food doesn't evaporate and that also helps prevent burning.
