<p>Hey all - </p> <p>I've seen this topic a few times on PH and looked into some of the answers given. I don't think there was too much of a response. Has anyone stumbled across a good option recently? Lookin to buy one in the near future. </p> <p>Looking for one that's guaranteed to be lead / cadmium free</p> <p>Thanks</p>

<p>Do most slow cookers have Lead and Cadmium?</p>

<p>As long as the crock isn't red, yellow or orange I wouldn't worry about lead. It is a OHSA regulatory nightmare so I would assume that most american made crock pots, which seems to include most Crock-Pots, would be lead free. I wouldn't worry about it that case even if it was a suspect color.</p> <p>If you want to be really sure you can always buy a home test kit for about $12 to swab the outside <a href="http://174.129.132.250/safety/2007/10/testing-the-lea.html" rel="nofollow">here</a> is a consumer reports rundown of some options.</p> <p>There are also cadmium test kits but I couldn't find any regulatory standards for these, thus they are probably more of a buyer beware sort of situation </p>

<p>Amazon sells the Sunpentown SC-5355 slow cooker with CLAY insert. Best damn slow cooker I've ever owned.</p>

<p>Hrm, as a side note, I use the plastic slow cooker bags. Simply because I hate trying to clean up the crock pot inserts. I'm assuming that would help prevent any possible lead leeching (say due to food acidity).</p>

<p>I have the Sunpentown slow cooker like the other guy mentioned and it works great! I also bought it from Amazon. </p>

<p>Cuisinart slow cookers are lead free according to this discussion (see the posts by Alicia in particular): <a href="http://insightfulnana.com/home-garden/housekeeping-home-garden/lead-poisoning-and-crock-pots/html" rel="nofollow">http://insightfulnana.com/home-garden/housekeeping-home-garden/lead-poisoning-and-crock-pots/html</a></p>

<p>Well it appears that most all modern slow cookers are heavy-metal-free, now I wonder about my circa-1972 Crock Pot. Probably not, but it's too retro to toss!</p>

<p>For those of you who have the Sunpentown, do you find that it cooks too high on the low setting? That's what one reviewer said on Amazon and that half the water of her stock was gone shortly.</p> <p>Thanks, ~k</p>
