Hi all,

We got a slow cooker as a wedding present, and on the second time we used it my wife dropped a bottle of red wine on it and smashed the pot. It was a mess!

We ordered a replacement and have been using it a few times and it seems fine. Only the lid doesn't really fit on top of the pot like the original one did. It was a direct replacement from Crock Pot, so it's a bit odd I think. I'm worried that it's going to result in longer cooking times or things not cooking as well - like I said we've used it 3 or 4 times and it seems fine, but it would be good to get other people's thoughts.


As you can see it rocks slightly, and as I move the lid around you'll see it is much smaller than the pot is.

Am I worrying for no reason? Thanks

PS. I already chucked the receipt from Crock Pot and I feel like I've left it too late to contact them now as we've used it a few times since.
 
Hmmm, you see that's the problem, because it rocks/tilts side to side it doesn't form a seal all the way around. I mean things have been cooking fine in it (there's a bolognese in there right now :)) but I wanted to check. Maybe I'll call them and see what they say.
