Slow Cookers

If the chip in the crock pot is only on the surface and does not affect the functionality or safety of the appliance, it should be safe to use. However, if the chip has exposed any metal parts or damaged the inner lining of the crock pot, it could pose a safety hazard. It is recommended to inspect the chip carefully and if there are any concerns about safety, it may be best to replace the crock pot.

Yes, but not to fry. What do you mean by grease? Are you talking of the kind of grease used in axles? Or the kind on bicycle chains? Then no, you can't. If you mean grease as in "oil" or "fat" then yes you can. Butter, olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, margarine, etc will all work fine in a crock pot. But remember, unless you have the special kind of crock pots where the crock can be put on a stove top, the crock pot will not brown any meat or vegetables put into the pot. It will merely cook them slowly over a long period of time. It is best to brown meat or vegetables in a saute pan, then put them in a crock pot. That is where you would want to use the fat or oil. If you just put regular oil into a crock pot, the food will be very greasy if you put in too much. It will not evaporate away as will water or broth.

No longer than 2 hours...after 2 hours bacteria can set in.

It depends how bad the is. Rate the on a 1 to 10 scale of your own (1 is almost no and 10 is the worst ever). If you rated it over 7, yes you should replace it.

Try canned diced tomatos.

Well stocked hardware stores have knobs that fit the heat controls on units like the Corningware slow cooker. That's either a local hardware store or a "big box" store. And Radio Shack or another big electronics parts places might, too. Notice the shaft of the control. It's almost certainly round with a "flat spot" on it. The flat spot is manufactured on the shaft of the control so the knob will have a place to "grip" the shaft and not slip. The knobs are pretty standard in the electrical industry. They're used for stuff like light dimmers and such. If you can measure the shaft, you'll probably find it's 1/4" in diameter - a standard size. Call your local True Value or Ace Hardware and explain the problem. It's almost a sure bet that they've got a solution. Make a measurement and make a call. If they've got one, go ahead and pack your cooker in with you, just to be sure. They can check the fit. One trip is all it should take. The staff at the hardware store is waiting to help you. They want you to call. Good luck, and bon appétit!

No you just have more room in your pot

As long as it is at least half full it's no problem. Even less than half would be alright if you did it on low or medium. Takes a bit longer, but depending on model of cooker, high might scorch around the top.
