Would this seal up a small crack on the ceramic pot of a crock pot?

i doubt it but it's worth a try. are you talking cosmetic or does it get hot? and how small is small? it works great on my ceramic tile floor....

I would have no idea...probably best to check with the instructions that come with the crock pot

There is a cover for inner pot, and outside will click to seal the pot. However, I don't think it will to tight enough for anti-spill. Need to becareful for transportation.

Yes, and even if there is a little space left over...a small cut isn't gonna hurt it too much...just burn it after to seal it.

Yes, as long as the pan/pot has the correct diameter or geometry to seal against steam escaping.

Yes, I used it on a pinhole and crack I had in my hot water supply line. The instructions on the boxes only mention water supply on the 4 inch wrap so it would be best to use that. I used the 2 inch because the area in which I was doing the repair was very tight and ultimately I intend it be temporary since I have no idea how long it will last.

i doubt it- the hose would squish in when you try to snug the tape down. if you used this to cover one of those metal 'hose repair fittings ' that always leak it would likely seal. It didnt seal a leaky pipe joint on a hot water boiler line - just dripped out around it. Good luck

I suppose it all depends on whether the exterior of the crock pot gets hot to the touch or not. I'm assuming that the interior pot wasn't cracked and glued back together. If the interior pot (food containing pot) was cracked , I would advise not to use it,based on the reaction to heat, plus the possible toxins which could leech from the bonding agents in the adhesive into your food. If the exterior part of the crock pot doesn't produce any toxic fumes when heated and the epoxy continues to hold it together, I can see not reason why you can't use it. However , I would suggest that you do some research on the epoxy and read the materials data sheet and see for yourself how the epoxy reacts to heat sources above certain temperatures. ~JT~

Yes it does work on ceramics. I had to glue a pot back together recently and it worked a treat.

I believe so, but must be a special Teflon tape designed for that purpose. Only way to insure a perfect seal. It's like a gasket that plugs all the miniscule surface irregularities.

It will adhere, but I would not use it, as the material might flavor the tea. There are glues specifically for ceramics that would be preferable. I have glued several broken ceramics over the years, including a teapot lid, using Weldbond. But I never subjected a repaired piece to full exposure to heat and water. In other words, Weldbond or equivalent will work for the lid to a teapot, but I wouldn't try it on the teapot itself unless it was only going to be used as an ornamental piece.

Yes, and the crock is not covered by their limited warranty. Probably because it cracks so easily.

I used it for a small opening as well. The screw used to keep it in place was a little snug but the ceramic flakes off as you turn it. It will work. Good luck!!

I'm afraid I don't know. I used it on a glass cook top on high to saute soup vegetables and it split top to bottom. Watch out for the hot liquid coming out of the crack and burning you.

If you put frozen meat in the ceramic crock, you run the risk of cracking it or cracking the glaze...the easiest way to visualize this is to think of glass going from one extreme temperature to another...it shatters. That's an over-simplification but similar to what can occur to the glaze / ceramic. That being said....I HAVE used frozen chicken with plenty of sauce, placing potatoes underneath it so it didn't have direct contact with the bottom of the crock. We have also placed a small rack in the base for frozen beef that was sealed in a vacuum sealed packet (seal-a-meal), suspended in water, (filling the crock with cold water before turning it on to low) . Both did not crack the crock...but, we were taking the risk. Note: I would NOT try this on HIGH because of the extreme temperature variations. I do recall the instructions saying NOT to place frozen foods directly in contact with the crock. Now, to answer your query regarding the meat probe....when we did the beef, I placed the probe in the water to track the cooking temp.....we were experimenting with Sous Vide method of cooking. If you brown the meat in the boiler (from a frozen state), I think it would defrost the meat enough to put the probe in, otherwise, it would be too solid to even get it in. I have found that beef, pork, chicken & turkey tastes better if first quickly browned, either in the broiler or in a pan on the stove...it seals the meat and retains its moisture. Note...if cooking meat in a vacuum sealed packet, you don't need to brown it first, (it retains it's moisture because of the vacuum seal). You can even add a marinade prior to vacuum sealing the meat. Hope this helps.

It's more of a saucepan but heck, I'm adventurous. You'd have 2 create a seal. I'd use tin foil then a small lid or plate weighting it down as nec. if it doesn't worl you've still got a bitchin lil pot!

If I had it to do over again I would NOT buy this crock pot-will only cook on high, low does very little-I know this doesn't answer your questions, no rubber gasket, fits good, not sure about the depth, plenty big enough, just won't cook on low-hope this helps
