My DCB is cracked, and the crack goes all the way through from the inside to the outside. I'm afraid to use it, as I'd worry about bacteria building up in the crack - or the piece exploding during cooking.
I called HO and was told to mail a piece back to them, and they'd send me a replacement. Here's where my dilemma comes in. Even though it's cracked, and thus unsafe for food, it is still in one piece. The thought of smashing it breaks my heart (did I mention how much I love the DCB??). I would rather keep it intact and use if for a planter or a decorative piece. The thought of breaking just the lid also ocurred to me (and causes the same heart pain), but it would be handy to have an extra lid, in case something happens to the new one.
What's a consultant to do? I have a legitimate reason to request a replacement (and am really missing being able to use the DCB), but just can't bring myself to break it into pieces.
Would anyone out there happen to have a piece of cranberry DCB they'd be willing to send me? I don't know how else to resolve this, other than out-and-out paying for a replacement.
