Can the inside pot go in the oven?

Pyrex or Corning Ware Bowl yes, no problem. Not a crockpot, as they are simmer temperature only.

Check ebay. Sometimes they have glass covers for some models.

Hi there, I would say if it has the removable ceramic insert that you can remove from the base, it can be put in the oven. Generally all of the crock pots I have ever had or seen do have the removable ceramic pot with a glass lid. Yes these crocks can be put in an oven. Hope this helps.

The Instruction Manual for your product is available here:

Under the section on Heat Precautions you will note:

Do not use the cooking pot or cover on the stovetop, under the broiler, in the freezer, or in the oven. You may use the cooking pot in the microwave oven, but do not place the glass cover in the microwave oven as it has a metal ring.

Sorry someone has not responded sooner.

First some common sense, there is no such thing as partially defrosted - it's either frozen or it isn't as far as cooking safety. A slow cooker, even on high, only takes food to simmering temperature and holds it there, and it does it very slowly. Put something frozen inside and cover with glass, the glass gets very cold and then turn it on high and go away for several hours....unless the glass is Corning Ware and rated for freezer to oven, expect it to break one out of ten times. Also, putting frozen food in a slow cooker and thawing while slow cooking gives you a good chance at growing some unhealthy bacteria in the cooker as the meat warms. Meat should always be thawed fully before placing in one of these units, as the directions specify.

I have seen this so many times you'd think rival would improve the handle with a better material...
I used a cover handle from a glass covered sause pan, you can get them at the dollar or thrift store- much better handle anyway.
I do not recommend using a drawer nob with teflon washers and a screw that you can get from the hardware store- the threads of the screw may (will) come in contact with the glass and the glass will break.
use a handle from a glass covered pan you already have or spend the 3 - 8 bucks at a dollar or thrift shop, and throw the pan out. it will be worth it just in less agravation and having a functional tool...
