operation ruin the crock pot

i remember a few years back my mom telling me about how dad had turned the crockpot on, it got hot, then he added water. this cracked the crockpot, ruined.

well today my husband, in keeping with family tradition, ruined my crock pot. 
even though earlier this week i tried and failed to ruin it on my own, i had made a pork roast, and it cooked too long, i had left it and gone to school and Paul had no idea what to do with it. so he left it alone, all of the liquid cooked out and though the meat was still surprisingly good, most of the liquid had dried to black,  crispy grossness. 
today i managed to save the crock pot by putting some water in it and turning it on high, long enough to soften all the gunk. i took the lid off and placed it on the stove, and cleaned the crock out and went to school. 
Paul gets home turns on the stove to make a snack, accidentally turns on the wrong burner and just walks out. little does he know he is heating up the lid of the crock. after some time he smelled something burning. he went outside to see if there was a fire, nope, back inside.. into the kitchen, and there the plastic all melted off the lid, when he tried to move it, it had gotten so hot the glass shattered. 
so mom dad ruined your crock, paul ruined my lid, if we combine our remaining pieces we have one complete crock pot! so do you still have that old lid sitting around?

  1. Aaww Hun, I'm so sorry. If it makes you feel any better, I used mine last week I went to take the lid off when it was done & the handle completely broke off. So I know how you feel.
