Where is this made, what are the temps of each setting (high, med, low) and is the crock lead free? Thanks

sorry I don't know.. You will have to check with the manufacturer on these questions..

I do not remember. I only had mine for 1 1/2 yrs and the bowl cracked. I hear that's a real problem and happens a lot. I will not buy another kitchen aide crock pot again! I only used it about 8 times and took rel good care of it. If I were you- I would not buy this product!

Just remembered I still had the pamphlet that came with the crock. There isn't an address, but it is a TSM Product: A division of The Sausage Maker, Inc. Website is www.tsmproducts.com

I was worried about this, too. All the research I did calmed me down a lot. Even if there are trace amounts of lead in the earthenware crock itself, the glazing, if it's not pitted anywhere, should protect the food and anyone who eats it. I feel safer using my crock pot than I do using those old aluminum pots and pans I got ages ago, and used a lot, and which I have gratefully retired....

I have no clue about the lead, contact the manufacturer Lodge Cast Iron. It is made in the USA, contact the manufacturer about the content of the griddle

No -- there's really no temperature setting beyond high, low, and keeping warm. If I'm going to be away for longer than the set time and the pot is going to be warming for a couple extra hours, I add a little extra water to keep the contents from burning. Also, I use crock pot liners so that if it DOES scorch a bit, it isn't so hard to clean.

Don't waste your money! Mine turned black and I could hardly read the temps. Then I accidently left it in the oven when I put on the cleaning cycle and that was the end of it. Look for a better quality one. To answer your original question, I don't know where it was made. Probably China!

Our Crock-Pot slow cookers are specifically designed to be used in the U.S. or Canada, with 110-120 volts.

Haven't bothered to put a thermometer in the unit but it has the typical all-position selection. After cooking a meal we have set it on a low setting and it functioned well at keeping the meal warm. I don't know if I would trust using it as a crock pot unless I were home to monitor its behavior.

Good morning Janice,At some Rock Quarry for for away. I had to be humorists at least about it. Anyway I really am not sure and may have been China for it has know markings and I trashed the papers on it. I do know it is a work of art and if you buy it that sucker is heavy so best call a crane company for assistance. If your going to leave it in one place you will be all right but moving it around may get old quick. We use it for setting our crock pot and Dehydrator on that reaches temperature of up to 400 degrees. It is so far well worth the money and sure you will like it. Hope this info helped.

Im on the search for a lead free slow cooker. I called the company and they claim the ceramic pot, and enamel/glaze on the pot are lead free. Ive also read blogs and comments of other women calling and getting the same answer, and even doing their own lead test at home, that showed negative results for lead.

The bottom, electrical heating plate states that it is made in China. I could not find anything on the pan or lid. I have to tell you, it is a great product. This is my third west bend slow cooker - oblong. They are just great if you are looking for temperature control.

It comes with instructions in German but I am not sure where it is made. It really is a nice crock, I have made kimchi and curtido which turned out really well. The stones are a bit delicate but work really good.

There are temperature settings you can set if you use it in "oven" mode. There are also low, high, and keep warm settings if you want to use it like a crockpot.

I'm not for sure about that. However, I will tell you this crock pot is not good! I sent the first one back to Hamilton beach, the counter top underneath it became very hot, to hot to touch the counter top. The second one did the same thing. I would never leave my house with this on. I called HB to request a refund and they refused. I am going to see if I can get a refund through Amazon. It seems to be made very cheaply, the outer container is thin.

Not sure where it was made. I threw the box away same day it arrived. I looked all over the thermometer and it doesn't say where it was made. Could be China, but not sure. It is all stainless steel except for the handle and glass for the thermometer.

Crock itself is 4-1/8" in diameter; 2-1/4" deep. The disadvantage of this unit is...it only has one temp setting...high.
