Can't remember which way glass cover (casserole top) goes on. One way seems too loose the other way too tight?

Most crock pots are made of porous ceramic and is relatively brittle. It is glazed on all sides (except the bottom usually), to make it hold liquids without absorption. The lids, usually glass or thermoplastic, sit of top, but do not usually fit tightly as this could crack the crock. Also, it is not a pressure cooker, so you want excess steam to vent. The lid just keeps the heat inside and allows condensation to drip back into the crock, reducing the speed at which the fluids cook off, thus the term slow cooker.

They are crudely made. It has been that way for generations

You might check at a "Corning Ware" store to see if they have a round lid that would work. Best of luck

When my lid was accidently broken years ago I found a heavy glass saucepan lid at a second hand shop that fitted it. A lid off a casserole dish of similar size would work just as well. Ensure you measure the inside width dimensions without lip and then including lip so you find a lid with a secure fit. Good luck.

The only place I've seen them is on Ebay. The West Bend site doesn't seem to carry a replacement for the glass casserole lids any more. On Ebay I've seen the glass lids for both 6/4 quart models and 5/3 quart models. I am not sure, but I think the 6/4 pans and lids are just a little longer than the 5/3 pans and lids.

No liquid added? That me be the problem.

You can of course just use any lid from a casserole dish that will fit! Even one from a saucepan! No need to spend good mony on one, as you may then find this 30 odd year old item may conk out! (Ours is still going strong, too!! lol)

I put the Corning Ware casserole in a foil roasting pan with several layers of foil in the bottom. This prevented the blackening of the casserole bottom and protected it from the direct flames. It worked great. Pork and sauerkraut were delicious
