No, not a typo. The dreaded crack of the ceramic bowl of the crockpot appeared the last time I washed it and noticed that some roast beef broth adhered to the bottom. *sigh*
Being on the road to frugality, I hate to just toss it, even if it was a cheap one; and it has been a good friend the last couple + years. So, let's put those crackpot brain cells to use.
The ceramic bowl is fairly easily-a planter OR on a stress-filled day grab a sledge hammer and make pebbles for the bees' water bowl or drainage for a larger planter.
Now, what to do with the heated part? Is it possible to melt things? Bees wax, other wax, soaps for repurposing. Can I put water in a different glass bowl it and use it for a ginormous potpourri warmer? Could I make some fruit leather on a rack? Use as a dehydrator? Jerky maker? I am not sure what temperature low, high and warm range, but this might be the opportune time to find out, huh?
Any other suggestions??
