I’m very disappointed. We received this as a wedding shower gift a little over a year ago and have used it only about 10 times. The entire bottom ceramic basin completely cracked open and spilled liquid all over my counter top as it was cooking during the day. I have never had this happen before with Crock Pot brands, but according to the reviews it seems this is a very common thing to happen with this model. It’s confusing why it’s still on the market after how common this exact problem has been for many other customers.
