katshe Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Ok maybe you're not supposed to put the crock on the stove to heat oils.Here is what happened,I noticed that oil was leaking out of crockpot so i slid the crock to the other burner and it began to really leak ...I decided i needed to get it to the sink fast as the stove top was super hot.When I lifted the crock the entire bottom had broken off and oil went everywhere, floor stovetop in the oven...what a complete mess!So I tried to clean up the hot oil without getting burned withbath towels and let the stove cool downtook me an hour to clean up all that oil (3lbs)I am now cooking in a stock pot...whew!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Had to start over , lye was awaiting in the garage...all was well in the end. Just lucky I had on long pants cause oil splashed down the front of me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 oh shit. I'm sorry this happened but yea - NEVER PUT THE CROCK ON THE STOVE. At least it happened before the lye was in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisR Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I'm shaking my head wondering why you would even try using the crock on the stove!! Mine has it in the directions, not to!! Thank God there wasn't any lye in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meridith Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Did the crock pot come in another pot that heats the ceramic pot? It should have had one. I guess you learned a very valuable lesson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eugenia Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm confused. Did you put the ceramic liner on a burner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meridith Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I'm confused. Did you put the ceramic liner on a burner?Ceramic liner!!! That is the name I could not think of. Darn it. Anyway, that is what it sounds like to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CareBear Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I had a 16-year old who cleaned for me. One day she came after school to clean and for some reason thought she could cook and eat my food. She put my Pampered Chef Stoneware baking sheet directly on the gas flame to cook some frozen popcorn shrimp. Took her a few cleaning visits to pay off that mistake (I'm mean, but she was totally irresponsible and knew it).Guess I'm saying it's the sort of mistake others make too.

katshe Posted September 6, 2007 Author Share Posted September 6, 2007 Yes there is a aluminum heating pot that the crock fits in but I just thought I'd post to let people know in case someone one else is as unknowing as I . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
