It is still cheaper to buy a replacement crock for a crock-pot than it is to buy a new crock-pot. This disappoints, TW. I don’t know why since I like our crock-pot.
(I find it difficult to hyphenate crock-pot, don’t you?)
When you’ve sliced open a couple of finger tips on the crock-post stoneware, you should really put band-aids on them if you’re going to paint a couple of pages in your altered book. Or if you’re going to use gesso and chalk pastels in a couple of pages of your altered book. It kind of hurts to scrub the paint/chalk out of those cuts.
I should have listened to Ken Jennings when he said I should keep my cuts covered and moist rather than listening to TW (and my own hatred of band-aids.)
(Band-aid is another word I have trouble hyphenating.)

If you broke the stoneware in your crock-pot, would you order a replacement stoneware or buy a new crock-pot?
If you cut a couple of fingers on the stoneware of your crock-post, how long would you leave band-aid(s) on the cut(s)?
Thrift stores are loaded with stoneware inserts for slow cookers of all makes. I’d run it through the dishwasher on sterilize before I used it though.
If the stoneware is cheaper, the stoneware. Bandaids, until the wound closed and there was no danger of reopening.
I agree, I see stone wear crock-pot inserts all the time for less than $5… Reduce, reuse & recycle!
Well by the time the stoneware breaks, doesn’t the crockpot look like crap? Of course I’m the one in the bunch that wants a new version 😉 Hey, you don’t have to hyphenate crock-pot. Watch: crockpot. bandaid. Skip the hyphen!
I don’t use my crockpot but maybe once a year. I didn’t even own one until a friend gave us a small one that she didn’t want.
I’d buy a replacement insert though if I did use mine regularly.
I leave Band-Aids on until they fall off on their own. Then I look to see if I need to replace it or not.
I want one of those new fancy designer pretty crock-pots (yes, difficult to hyphenate) from Hamilton Beach. Look how gorgeous this is: http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/all-slow-cookers-5-quart-portable-slow-cooker-33357.html
I accidentally left band-aids (yep, hard) on the running trail last week. I didn’t feel them fall off. Oops?
I use crockpots for dyeing yarn, and if my stoneware broke, by that time the heating element in the pot would probably be near death, anyway. In fact, I did crack one stoneware once (something about it being hot and accidentally filling it with cold water rather than hot… tea pot fail… ) and I just got a replacement crock pot at the thrift store. The broken one had been a hand-me-down, and it was juuuuuust smaller than I needed it to be. This is probably more than you wanted to know, isn’t it? So then. I’d just buy a new used one. Is where I’m going with this. Eventually.
I need more coffee.
