argh! I am so mad. I heard this loud 'pop' coming from the kitchen. Sure enough, it was from the crockpot. This is the second time the ceramic crock has cracked. (say that five times fast)
I called customer service and they're sending another crock. I just wish they'd replace the entire thing. Seriously. Dinner is ruined. She said if it happens again, they'd replace the entire crockpot.
I've never had so much trouble with a crockpot. I wouldn't be so upset if this were a cheap one but it wasn't!
Re: crockpot broken again!
It's kitchenaid. I'm super mad. Would you feed your family the food that is cooking in a pot that cracked? I'm scared of there being glass/ceramic shards in it.
There probably shouldn't be shards - the crock is mostly stone and glazing. However, if the food came into contact with the metal casing, I wouldn't like that very much. Maybe not from a safety issue, but at least from a yuck factor.
Do you have problems with it overheating the food? I find it very strange that it would crack a crock more than once.
haha! She loves crockpots. Perhaps I should page her and ask for her advice.
