where do I get a lid for a crockpot?

[merchimerch]

So I had a bit of a dinner party after my doira masterclass last night, and felt so brilliant for putting dinner in the crockpot so that my guests wouldn't have to wait as I cooked.

Dinner turned out great, but we came home from the class to a severely cracked crockpot lid. It was NOT salvagable. So now my crockpot (which gets weekly use) is out of commission until I get a new lid or a whole new thing.

Anyone know of a way to just replace the lid, or am I stuck shelling out the moolah for a whole new deal?

It just seems so wasteful to have to throw away a perfectly good crockpot because of a busted lid.

Try searching around local thrift shops and the like, there's lots of random glassware to be found there, and if not, a whole new unit there will cost much less.

do you really think a thrift store would just sell me a lid? I'll have to check. Otherwise I'm stuck just pitching out and wasting ANOTHER crockpot.

Seconding the thrift shop idea. Maybe get in touch with the maker of your crock pot and ask if just a lid is something they could get you? Or maybe freecycle?

oh bummer - the marbeck place is out of stock for my lid. -sigh-

Thanks for the link though.

at least it proves that lids *can* be bought in isolation
