Hi! I'm new here and have a question regarding the glaze of the crock. Many of the recipes I've seen call for wrapping food in tinfoil or cooking it in a glass dish in the crock. Has anyone ever had a problem either way with this damaging the glaze of the crock? Thanks for helping out!

Never heard of any problem. You do want to avoid chipping it, and one of our reviewers had a crockpot insert break in two while using it to cook beets, but that was most likely because of a hairline fracture or because of a flaw in the insert. I cook potatoes and beets wrapped in foil in the crock and have not had any problems to date.

I've never had a problem either. One of my crockpots is over 20 years old and the glaze is still undamaged.

Hi
I use aluminum in the crock pot a good deal and have used glass bowls that were safe for higher temps all without problems.
