Hi all,
I used my Slow Cooker for a veggie lasagna on Sunday, and when I took it out (after about 7 hours on low) I noticed lots of cracks around the outside of the crock pot, all with black hard residue on where the cracks were.
Any one got any ideas why this happened? I'm pretty sure the crock pot was dry before I put it into the metal heater, and it heated up slowly, I didnt put anything boiling or freezing in it.
I'm also guessing I need to buy a new one? Only had it 3 years, not used much the first 2 years though
Thanks.

It is probably superficial crazing on the pottery glaze.

I would hasten me to the nearest British Heart Foundation charity shop, the ones that sell electrics and furniture. For £5-£10 you will get an almost used (or more likely unused) sc in perfect working order. It's not worth taking the risk with boiling hot contents for the sake of a few pounds. They also come up regularly at car boot sales and freegle, etc.Solar Suntellite 250 x16 4kW Afore 3600TL dual 2KW E 2KW W no shade, DN15 March 14
