Google it there may be a company that does them or try bed bath and beyond or one of the high end cook stores I got one for a different slo-cooker from Wal-Mart of all places but some time ago.

The Cuisinart had a three year warranty. I called the company and they have replaced the slow cooker. However I had to give them a check for $10, return the broken cooker, and pay shipping. My cooker came in less than two weeks and I am returning the old one tomorrow so I have no idea what the shipping cost will be. The box states it weighs 16 lbs. I am thrilled that it is being replaced. I really don't know what to tell you. My friend has had hers much longer and loves hers. Best wishes with your choice.

Hi Walter. My wife and I bought a new lining through Amazon and are very pleased with it. It was a convenient and cost-effective way to keep the slow cooker going after years of excellent service and we would would do it again if necessary. Hope that helps. Good luck, Tom

That's a very good question, you might get on Emeril's web site and see if you can request one, I can't imagine anyone wanting to steal the booklet, it wasn't all that great. I would imagine Emeril has cook books with many more recipes than the booklet which comes packaged with the slow cooker. Good luck "bon appetit"

I asked Libbey a lot of questions (and received answers too) but not about lead-free, so I don't know. I would suggest you send an email directly to Libbey - they're good about getting back to you in a timely fashion.

Go to the Hamilton Beach web site and FAQ. http://www.hamiltonbeach.com/faqs-slow-cookers.html The web site states the following: Lead and cadmium are naturally occurring elements in the earth. As cooking vessels are earthenware cooking vessels, lead and cadmium may be naturally present. HBB cooking vessels are porcelain enamel coated to create a barrier between food and earthenware. The porcelain enamel coated cooking vessels are evaluated using ASTM extraction test procedures with detection limits of 0.1 ug/ml for lead and 0.01ug/ml for cadmium. In HBB cooking vessels, the amount of lead or cadmium present in the extractant is below the test's limits of detection. Additionally, the factories that manufacture HBB cooking vessels are certified ceramic production facilities whose ceramic ware is deemed to satisfy FDA heavy metal requirements in accordance with the Memorandum of Understanding between the United States and China. HBB takes all reasonable steps to ensure that our cook vessels provide safe and satisfactory service to our consumers.

Besides the "Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two" already mentioned, I have "350 Big Tasty Recipes for the 1 1/2 Quart Mini Slow Cooker" by Albert Herbert. Also sold by Amazon. Neither book has pictures but both do have lots of recipes. You might want to check your local library to see if they have these books (or others). I did that with another cookbook. Found it, checked it out and then decided it wasn't for me. Saved me $.

Heavy is a subjective term. It's sold in stores. Go check it out. The ceramic pot is the majority of the weight of this slow cooker. The metal base has handles on it. I would leave it in the base if you have to move it for serving. It will protect whatever surface you have it on from the heat of the pot.

Here's the company website. Doesn't say lead free that I could see but you could call and ask.http://www.wollcookwarestore.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=53

I don't think any stainless steel contains lead. Also I think it would be illegal to sell food grade items with lead in them (you'll notice expensive stainless steel flatware doesn't mention being lead free as a selling point.). I'll also note that this isn't some random brand, I have seen it used in actual restaurants (noticed after I purchased).

Hi Jackie, I'm afraid I do not know the answer! I just assumed it was lead free given that it is used for 'food' purposes. Hope my assumption is correct! Love the cruet though.

You can go to www.crockpot.com and type in the serial number under parts and support and purchase it that way. Hope this helps!

See http://vitaclaychef.com/faq There is a question asking if the pots contain lead. The answer from this faq is that the cooker was tested to 99.99% lead-free. The lab could not measures to 100% lead-free. They didn't mention anything about cadmium-free.

Not sure, Rachel, but I think a good place to start would be the Crock-Pot website. Hope it was empty!

Oh golly, I'm sorry, I have no idea about the lead. I would assume it's lead free, but that's just my guess. I really enjoy mine.
