I am sorry to read about the problems other buyers are having with the cracking of these pots. I've now been using mine since 2007 or so and it's as solid as ever - and I use it often - on the stove more often than in the oven. I wonder what type of stove others are using - mine is a glass top (electric) - perhaps the pots don't stand up to gas stoves like they should? Just a thought. At any rate, the seller should stand behind what they sell and that is disappointing.

I'm surprised a cast iron skillet had that problem! I have not had an issue with mine since I got it in December. I even used it in the oven a. It's been even cooking for me since the day I've used it.

I felt the same way. It looks like this version is cheaply built, but seems to cook about the same. I did see that it will crack very easy if you're not careful, I put a small crack in mine cleaning it�

I would guess it is an electronic problem. I would ask for a new one if relatively new, or it could be just a buildup of particles from cooking, etc.. Contact Kidde.

I'm not having any problem with mine. I also have a glass stovetop. No suggestions.... Except to enforce to warranty.

I wish I could help, but I've never had a problem with the blade cracking. Perhaps, there was a flaw in the one you had.

That happens to me too sometimes. I think if its not sealed properly or if there's any residual ice left in the seal, it'll crack.

Mine cracked while I was taking it out of the box. Amazon was great about returning it though, and I got all my $$$ back. I ended up buying the big machine and haven't had any problems with it.Good luck.Connie Banry

I had the same problem with my kitchenaid digital thermometer and found a break in the wire going to the probe. Seems like that could be a common problem since when the probe cord is wound up in it's holder, stress is placed on the wire leading to the probe.

I don't understand what you mean by "cracks". There are some packing elements that need to be removed before it is used. I have been using mine for a while now and I am happy with it. If I misunderstood your question, please explain and I will be glad to respond.

Never have. Check where the plates sit, the heating element pads, to be exact. Clean those and clean the bottom of the plates. If not you might have scraped the Teflon coating off and it's coming apart and the heat caused it to micro-crack releasing toxic Teflon fumes. If anything contact amazon. They have a great customer support team.

If it's the plastic part, the manufacture has replacement parts. If it's the stainless steel, it should not have stress crack, but if it does, I have not seen a replacement part for it. Sorry.

Amazon replaced mine immediately when the crock cracked even though it was past the return date. Did you try contacting them?

I also got cracks in corners. What to do? Enjoy your life- this is just a case. And leave a bad bad review))

Same thing happened to me. It's a fire hazard. Plus, it puts out toxic fumes when it burns. I was not cooking on high (rarely do, because I use Henckel's ceramic ware). It may be a good product for some people, especially those with electric or ceramic stove tops. And it may be only a few of the items that tend to catch fire. But a few is too many for me. I wish I could return it.

I have only used mine a few times and I had these same issues the first time I used it. With subsequent I made sure the counter was very wet (not just a few sprinkles) and I used quite a bit of flour. I live in a very dry, mountain climate and have to add extra water to my dough so it won't crack around the edges. I think it just takes practice to find the right amounts. Hope this helped some.
