I have the opposite problem. I've been using my crock pot for so many years now that I've simply cooked the finish right off of the crock but the heating element works like a champ. Wish I lived near a city so I could hit the thrift shops for a new crock! Oh well, they make those disposable cooking bags for them now so I'll just continue to use those in the crock until I need both parts replaced. Good Luck!

Ours quit this week also. DH bought a new one for less than twenty dollars, and the book that came with it said not to use the crock or lid in oven, stove top, etc. Too bad, as I love the crockery. As someone else said, "when in doubt, don't". I had an oven approved stoneware slab break on me once and it was a real mess to clean up.... Good luck and be safe. ;)

I don't see why you couldn't use the crock in the oven.
My very first crock had an all glass lid.
All the ones since then have a hard, plastic knob handles. I have very nice pots and pans and the plastic knob handles on the lids go in the oven just fine. But, the skillets can't go in the oven because of the handles. You would think the skillet handles would be move oven resistent than the lid handles.!
I use those liners all the time. Makes clean up a breeze! Won't go back to using the crock without them! I do spray them with cooking spray, found out the hard way that food really sticks to it and lost good size chunks of meat.
