Gotta be careful with those old ceramics. A lot of em leach lead. Idk about these but just an FYI.
Awesome crockpot otherwise.

You can check the model online to confirm safety. I have this one and the smaller unit. Both are safe.

You can just use crock pot liners…make clean up a lot easier too.

I've seen some articles calling into question the safety of the liners too, although I haven't done any research to see if there's any veracity to those claims since I use neither a crockpot nor liners.

Well, see, you just have to ask yourself "am I more of an old-school kind of person, who gets OG lead poisoning? Or am I a cutting-edge trendsetter, who gets sick from the latest toxic plastic of the week?"

Cooking something for a long time doesn’t seem great to me, barring lead, I’d rather wash the pot

Edit: cooking it in a plastic liner, obvs. I skip words when i write…

Yep, my old crockpot failed :( disappointing because they tend to cook more evenly, but was told the newer ones cook hotter because 1) they work better and 2) it's safer. I've moved more towards the pressure cooker since both my old crockpots failed the testing kit.

Was the swab test tried here for lead or?

Good point. I would stop using it if the finish is worn or chipped in any areas.
