Congratulations! You have been to to Ship Full O' Pirates over 100 times! Just thought you'd like to know.

Hubs bought me a Smartpot Crockpot several months ago after BOTH of my crock pots were broken within one weeks time.  (I don’t know, sometimes stuff just happens.)

Anyway, I was really tickled with my Smartpot.  It was the nicest, bestest crockpot in the store, and it was mine!  I use my crockpot a LOT.  At least every Sunday, for our weekly fellowship meal.  But often I’ll use it a couple of times during the week as well.  This is one of the most heavily used appliances I own (if you don’t count my washing machine, but that is another story for another day).

Anyway, shortly after we bought the Smartpot (btw~ I kinda say “smarty-pants-pot” in my head every time I say Smartpot) the handle on the lid broke off.  %#$@!!!

Then a week later the handle/latch thingy on the other side of the lid broke and fell off.  Dang!  What in the world?

Then finally some more bits of the handle/latch apparatus (now I am thinking of the Olympics gymnastic competitions, are you too?) broke off and fell into the food I was cooking!  I must say, that one rather perturbed me!

So now I’m down to a little broken bit of a nut/bolt/broken handle gizmo as the only thing with which to grasp the lid of my crockpot!  Not good, not good at all!

Have I told ya how stinkin’ smart my Hubs is?  Last Saturday I handed him the handle-free smarty-pants-pot lid and asked him if he could rig some kind of handle onto it, thereby reducing my stress level by 451% when cooking with the afore mentioned smarty-pants-pot.  His solution?  Yes, he could fashion a handle of some sort for me, but also, why didn’t I just call up the Crockpot people and complain and ask them to fix it.

Hmmm… smart guy.

So, I did.

They’re sending me a whole new Crockpot.

Problem solved.  Thanks, Hubs!

Since they no longer even make the parts that broke on mine, I’m taking that to mean they’ve come up with a better design and that’s what I’ll be getting in the mail in 10-14 days.  I’ll certainly post a photo of the NEW pot when it arrives!
