Crock-Pot 4.5 qt Silver Stoneware Slow Cooker

Absolutely terrible crockpot. The food cooks fine, I guess, but I lost the lid and now I’m expected to believe this thing is still useful? What kind of kitchen appliance requires you to keep track of all its parts? I’ve tried covering it with aluminum foil, a plate, and sheer optimism, but nothing compares to the original lid. The crockpot itself is probably decent, but unfortunately I have lost the lid, and therefore I can no longer recommend it. Very disappointing experience overall. And BEFORE you ask I cannot find the lid online for this unit. Why is it so hard to find a 4.5 lid for my crock pot!

Crock pots are always a life saver! Being able to dump everything in and let it cook for a couple of hours without stressing. It’s safer to cook there then it the stove as you can set a timer. It’s practical because you can bring it anywhere since it’s not too heavy nor big.

After about six months my spouse and I have stopped using our model SCR450-H-BR (marked on the bottom of the heating base) because it didn't give us the flexibility we were hoping for. We learned from our first few trials and then re-reading the manual carefully that this model is designed to work best when filled 1/2 way to 3/4 way full (2-3 qts by volume). The manual doesn't say what substance to fill to this level, but I would say it means full of liquid. Since the heating elements are not below the stoneware bowl -- they seem to be positioned around the sides of the ceramic bowl about 1/2 to 3/4 of the way up -- a recipe that only sits in the bottom 1/3rd of the bowl does not transfer heat evenly. As a result we didn't get good results with recipes that start out somewhat dry but make more juice as they cook like some stews and roasts. We also didn't get good results with recipes having liquid levels smaller than about 2 qts. For example, a pot roast 2" thick should be covered with about another 2" of liquid to meet the 1/2 to 3/4 depth (the stoneware bowl is 5" deep). I'm not sure of the advantage of designing this model with the heating elements up so high, but this may be something that works well for others but not for us. I just think it's good to be aware for what you think you'll use it for. I'll be on the lookout for the placement of the heating elements in my next slow-cooker purchase.

Great product, we live it. Only issue: one of the rubber feet has gone missing. How can I order a replacement?

I’ve been had my crockpot for over six years the knob that goes on where you control the temperature broke I need a replacement
