If there is a glass insert, then the food would be on the glass rather than on

the base whatever it had on it, wouldn't it?

I also live in a tiny mountain town without much in the way of shopping, so I

found my new glass crockpots online...they were quite reasonable. I use my

Techniques glass one every day. I also have an Elite glass one, but it not only

gets too hot at the bottom, but the glass insert sits on a plate that looks

surprisingly " non stick " to me. I am not aware of any smell or offgassing, but

it still makes me a bit uncormforable, which is a shame since it is a lovely

crockpot.

Fresh air is something I have every day and night up here at 7500 feet.

Clear skies unless there is a forest fire somewhere. And today a surprise

snow storm came in so it's snowing but tomorrow it's supposed to be 56

degrees so that will all melt. It's garden prep time!

But here in the southern Rockies it's gorgeous - no matter the time of year.
