Nicolas, of course there is no way for one person to test every crock pot on the market–the best I could do was to test my own and a selection borrowed from friends in the community. Even if I had tested every available brand, I think it’s very likely that the lead content could vary within the same make and model based on the particular batch of glaze and/or masonry used.

My hope is that other people will test their crock pots and post their results just as Insightful Nana, myself, and others have. If we can’t get a straight answer about safety from the manufacturers, then we need to share our experiences consumer-to-consumer in order to help keep these harmful contaminants out of our foods and our bodies…

How do you account for conflicting test results such as this: http://insightfulnana.com/home-garden/housekeeping-home-garden/lead-poisoning-and-crock-pots/html

Isn’t it possible that only a small % of crock pots contain lead and your test sample wasn’t large enough to include one?

I don't like menu pnnlniag but I still do it anyway. Each week after I finalize my menu I am glad that I spend the time to do it. I also organize my shopping list according to where in the store the items I need are. I'm dorky like that.

[...] individuals have taken up the cause and done their own testing. See here for one person who found no lead in the slow cookers [...]

Wow, you are amazing! I am so proud of myself as I just got my photos sorted but you have taken it to the extreme! Maybe we should move sometimes…

It’s so funny that you mention that, because I’ve just been talking with a friend of mine who is working for a food app related start-up and I was expressing my disappointment at the lack of a really robust recipe-planning to grocery list to table type app to help me get rid of my hodgepodge of paper recipes, falling-apart cookbooks, and online mess.

I have MacGourmet and we have transferred some of our badly falling apart cookbooks to it, but it’s a manual process. We’ve also saved some of our favorite online recipes that I make all the time to it, but again, the “web clip” feature leaves something to be desired. And it’s totally missing the menu planning/shopping list aspect, which is what I could really, really use. Maybe I need to start my own company!!!!!

Can you tell me what you did with all your recipes? I have a lot stored electronically, a lot printed out, a lot in cookbooks. I’d like to scan them all, but then I have a hard time with looking at them while I’m cooking because I’m afraid I’ll spill something on my computer! Any suggestions?
