not worth buyer shipping was more than the product and the clean up once the liner ripped slightly made no difference. I still had to clean the crockpot. Loser product.

I used the liner the other day when I cooked corned beef and cabbage. Cooker was on high for over 8 hours and the liner was fine...looked the same as when I put it in the cooker after all that time.

I've been using these for years and I set my crockpot to different settings with each dish I prepare and have never had any trouble with them melting. It's too bad Barbara A. Edson-Greenwald had a bad experience with these because honestly, I just love them. I do wish they were a little less expensive (but then I wish EVERYTHING was a little less expensive). Since I have the Amazon Prime, I don't have to pay for shipping so I can't comment on how much the shipping costs.

To Stacey: I have only used it at lowest setting for stew for easy clean up, which it held up fine. Medium heat would probably be okay as well, as it seems sturdy enough.

I have had mine installed for more than a year, maybe two and I have had know issues. I have not gone back and read the reviews that you may be referring two, but if wired correctly it should not melt.

Yes. I don't recommend buying this. I melted 2 of them with just normal operation of my heat.

I would say definitely, it's very dense material, it certainly would not melt if that's what you're worried about. Personally, I recommend just hand washing it very well inside and out because it's easy and quick...but if you have large hands that might not be an option.

about a 1/4" I had to get another one because the plastic housing melted when it got to hot

I doubt it as well. It may not melt, but I am sure it still gets hot to the touch.

It's nylon, so you should be able to heat it up with a lighter & the end will melt. Careful not to let it burn. Have an oven MIT ready to pinch end tight to seal

I wouldn't make a hot drink in it. I don't think it would melt, but I'd burn my hand.

I would doubt that you could use this in an oven the some is plastic so I believe it would melt

No, the product will not melt but will become a little more tacky. I have had mine for a few months now and noticed that with the change in temp. (summer to winter or from around 90f to 20f) the Sticky will become a little more brittle and a little less tacky. It seems also to pick up every bit of dust in the air, because of the tacky nature of the plastic it is made of. Still works well and holds items but a little less tacky than first purchased. Have had item a few months now. Its not expensive so I would say give it a try.

Might melt, I steam mine. Buy a $60 stand up steamer and you'll never iron again.

All parts are stainless steel, so nothing will melt. My only concern would be some warping especially if it is heated or cooled too quickly. There is enough clearance between the outer pot and inner boiler so that binding due to different thermal expansions shouldn't be a factor. Caution that the lid and the 3ply bottom of the outer pot may expand differently than the diameter of the pots. I'd stay with low (<220 deg F) temperatures for oven use to be safe.

It won't melt, it will fry... After the plastic expands and contracts because of the cold/heat, it looses it's integrity and the picture will dry up in flakes =[

Absolute not. It will shatter over direct heat of any type, gas or electric.

I placed it directly under heating element.It's about 3/4 inch clearance and no melting or burning to date.I bake items at 450 degrees at least twice a week.Works perfectly.

I am not sure but i know the heat can be quite high inside. I have measured it at over 145 degrees in different places. It was high enough to melt a medicine bottle one time and melt the glue on the sole of and old pair of shoes another time. So my guess is it could melt the thin plastic protective cover.

no it won't melt if you use cfl 105 watts it's cooler, compared to the standard bulb but don't let the bulb near curtain or clothes that the time it would create heat but if you still in doubt try to use led bulbs
