Why You Should Never Put Your Crockpot on the Stovetop

Have you ever had a kitchen experience that was so disastrous that you still recall it up to this date? What was it? For me, it was the time I put a hot lid upside down on my brand new glass top stove. I heard the glass crack, and can you imagine the horror? The stove was practically brand new and I had no idea that you should not place a hot lid facedown on it. This is why after this terrible accident, I paid more attention to safety in the kitchen, learned more about the proper usage of appliances and was very careful with them.

However, even with all that precaution, I still come across such incidents. A few days ago, I was going through my favorite kitchen stuff group on Facebook and I saw something that shocked me. There was one homeowner who had posted a picture of what appeared to be chili all over their stove. You couldn’t even see the surface; it was entirely covered in chili. She said that the chili was cooked in a crockpot on high for six hours. Since it was not yet fully cooked, she put it back on the stove for an additional hour. The crock had cooled off and when she went to put it in the fridge the bottom fell out and the chili spilled all over. I couldn’t even begin to think about how we would clean that up. I think if it was me, I would probably cry for five to six hours and then start thinking on how to clean the mess.

Where did things go wrong here? A lot of people commented on her post, and the consensus was clear: there is one thing that you should never, never do and that is to place a crockpot on the stove. But why is that?
