Why You Should Never Put Your Crockpot on the Stovetop

The potential consequences of ignoring this rule are far from ideal. A shattered crockpot can lead to a messy, potentially hazardous cleanup, with hot food spilling everywhere and the risk of burns. If your stovetop has a glass or ceramic surface, it could also be scratched by the ceramic fragments. And it doesn’t stop there. Even if the crockpot doesn’t break immediately, microscopic cracks may form, compromising its structural integrity and increasing the risk of future failures. In extreme cases, the heating element could be damaged, creating a potential electrical hazard.

You might be wondering if it’s safe to use any ceramic dish on the stovetop. Generally, the answer is no. Most ceramic cookware is not designed for direct stovetop heat. While there are specialized ceramic pots and pans for stovetop use, they are the exception rather than the rule. Always follow the manufacturer’s guidelines when using ceramic cookware on the stove.

So, where does that leave us? Your crockpot belongs on the countertop, not the stovetop. It’s a slow cooker, not a speed cooker. When you need to transfer food to the stove for further cooking, use a proper saucepan or skillet. Your kitchen (and your sanity) will thank you.

My personal kitchen disaster has turned me into a cautious cook. While I still love experimenting with new recipes, I’m constantly reminded that kitchen mishaps can happen to anyone. Let’s all commit to using our kitchen appliances safely and responsibly.
