Crock pot issue
I was recently reminded that in its time with us, our 5-qt Crockpot, marked for two heat levels, "Lo," and "Hi," but the heat levels are incorrectly labelled; they should instead read "Boiling Hothot" and "Sunside Surface of Mercury." Nothing is wrong with our electricity and anyway, we've used it in three different places with moderately old, brand spanking new, and pretty darn new wiring, and in two electric utility districts, and our crockpot has always been like this.
We've never heard the ceramic liner offer to pop or crack, we pretty much always let it cool inside and along with the housing, and we allow it to cool to room temp before washing so that we're lessening the likelihood of such. Still - this is *not* how my Granny's crockpot runs and that thing's older than I am and still knoweth the diff between its two settings.
Has anyone else run into this problem? Were you able to fix it, and if so, how?
