    I rather suspect that it would crack further and leak if you tried to use it. My last one broke recently and I have replaced it with a 3.5 litre one from Argos on offer at £6! (Cookworks) It has very good reviews and I cooked a very nice crumble topped beef recipe yesterday, absolutely delicious.

    I'd get it replaced, just in case it suddenly cracked in half. I second the argos cookworks range. I have a cookworks 6.5 litre one for £14,99, plus a small value one on sale for £4.89. Both are excellent, although prefer the cookworks model.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Also...I bet there are a lot of people like me who wish they knew someone who wanted to take theirs off their hands. I tried, but I hate using the slow cooker....

  • Mine had a crack in it for ages and eventually broke clean in half, I would get rid.

  • Personally i would bin it because the crack is likely to harbour germs.
    I have 2 of the Cookworks ones and love them :)
  • I agree with all above bin it, but my commiserations , I was devastated when I did the self same thing.
