Last I checked, the crocks in slow cookers were not meant for stovetop use.

... *headdesk*

pulled the recipe off the internet which said to do just that. godfriggin'--argh.

Okay, which monkey with a keyboard posted that? Because seriously? It's wrong and dangerous, as you found out (at least the damage was minimal). Because frankly? That sort of advice is dangerous. What's the link to the recipe?

I think there are some crocks that CAN go on the stovetop... I have a feeling that the instructions for mine said you could. seeing as I never have, nor do I have the book nearby, I'm not 100% sure, but I do recall something about browning a roast...

I always thought you couldn't cook on the stovetop with a crockpot?

I think you warmed the ceramic too fast/directly.

HA! ok I laughed

it does suck about the crock pot though :(

well, at least you can have fun buying a new crock!!! I had an unfortunate bacon incident this summer where we tried to grill it over a bbq using one of those tin grill pans. It went from almost done to burnt to on fire in about 30 seconds. Bacon is a volatile substance!!!!

Yes, that is bacon. Yes, that is a steel plate being cut thru!

... oh my christ, seeing that nearly makes up for this day.

bacon: perfect food, hangover cure, and now INDUSTRIAL METALCUTTER!

(incidentally, whee nanowrimo! i'm already inflicting my character with a kitchen fire today. unlike mine, though, his was caused by an imp...)
