I sadly found out that a few of my crocks (I have 6 total) are known for containing lead either in the glaze or in the crock itself. Is there any recommendations for crocks that do not contain lead or cadmium. I hear everyone say this one does or that one does, but when I go to the websites, I can’t find any information confirming that it is true.

I do use the inserts for the crocks as well, but I don’t want that as a permanent solution to my crocking dilemma.

TIA!

Shayla, I am in the same quest as you are, so far I was able to read Hamilton beach brand states in their website they are lead free… I hope this is the case.
Do you mind sharing what brands you have?

I have a few Rival (Crockpot brand) 6 qt, 4qt and a tiny one or two quart one, and two off brand ones from Aldi’s (I can’t get to them at the moment to look). I have one large Hamilton Beach too (I think a 7 qt). There is one called Vita something or other that is supposed to be clay only, and the Sunpentown SC-5355 is supposed to be listed as lead free. Cuisinart cookers are also supposed to be lead free, but nothing on any of the websites specifically say that they *ARE* lead free…

BTW, the Aldi’s crock brand is “crofton”….
