Good point. I just dug out the user's manual that accompanied my rival
crock pot. It says the crock is oven/microwave proof but not the lid. And
do not use the stoneware on gas/electric stove tops or under a broiler. I
would strongly urge the OP to check her user's manual, or visit the Hamilton
Beach web site, or phone their customer service.
