My crock pot has a huge crack the entire length of the ceramic insert...i noticed when i was washing it that it moved a little and i have no clue what happened. it wasnt dropped or anything, and the heat settings are automatic... i have no clue why it does this but now i need to buy a new one because it goes all the way through.
Mine cracked too, but it was because it slipped out of my hands while I was washing it. I just took it as a sign to go out and get a bigger and better one! I got the Hamilton Beach Stay or Go kind that has a locking lid so you can take it with you without it spilling all over your car. It was about $35 and well worth it.
That's so frustrating. I can't imagine why that would crack like that, other than putting it in cold water when still hot. Sometimes they have a defect in them and crack at a weak point, but it would have probably cracked before now. There has to be replacement inserts available.
no, we definitely didnt do that... =/
Quoting volmomof3:did u put it in cold water while it was still hot? if so that could cause it
The same thing happened to my mother. How old is it? It might have gotten bumped at just the right angle without you realizing it and it could have caused a crack. I believe you can buy a new ceramic insert without buying a whole new crock pot.
If you choose not to decide you still have made a choice.
