While DH was moving our crock pot, the lid slid off and broke. I resorted to using a sheet of aluminum foil together with a regular pot lid as a replacement. Then DSIL, who likes yard/garage sales, found one for us that fits perfectly. It likely wasn't very expensive.

What's the model number? You can probably google to find the capacity.

Share, have you looked at the brand, model number (probably on the bottom) of your crock pot and done a google search for lid? Maybe another vendor other than the one you checked with has a lid made specifically for yours, even if new but old stock.

I'd do like stacey_mb and improvise for the short term. Long term, I'd measure the size lid you need (or trace the shape on a large piece of paper) and hit the goodwill, salvation army, and other charity shops. Somewhere out there is a lid that will fit, for cheap.

I was going to suggest goodwill or a salvation army also. They usually have tons of crock pots.

check yard sales and thrift stores, ebay may even have it.

I have had excellent luck at goodwill, salvation army and thrift shops finding lids.

Also check habitat for humanity resale store if you have one near you.

I replaced one of mine one time, found it at a barn sale It was 1 dollar. Another time I just needed the knob, bought another lid with a knob that would fit lid. It too was only a doller.

You can use ANY lid that fits... I have even used a plate, and a bowl once. ;)

Best to measure a pot for a lid size using a ruler or as described by tracing the top on a sheet of paper to compare to what you find, not by filling with water. It sounds like there's a $10 difference between a lid and an entire two piece replacement. Don't spend $15 in looking for a solution to save $10.

I would measure the diameter of the pot, also check to see if you have any pots a similar size with a lid, and try it to see how it fits. You may already have one that will work. It doesn't have to be the same brand, as others have said, it just has to fit. Measuring the volume is probably a waste of time.

I second looking at thrift shops, etc. They always have a number of glass lids.

Ebay has several lids listed, but I'd take the pot to BedBathBeyond and ask if they have a lid that fits. I've picked up extra lids for my skillets there.

The number of quarts your crockpot holds is not as relevant as the diameter of the lid. You can fit the same number of quarts in a tall, narrow pot as you can in a short, wide one.

I’d look in charity shops; they often have potless lids.

Do you have any Pyrex or Anchor Hocking in your cabinet with a lid. If you do, one of their glass lids is probably the same size.

Thanks everyone! I don't currently have a lid that fits but since I don't use this crock pot all that often, I will take your advice and try to find one that will fit. We do like to frequent a large flea market in the summer. Measuring what I need is great advice. Thanks!

Oh darn, I just took a crock pot to the thrift shop a couple days ago. I would gladly have sent it to you. Bad timing.

I saw a Crock pot lid at an Estate sale yesterday, so check those. I bought this one after my small one died.

It seems to work fine and I like the warm setting. It is a manual dial, which is why it probably works well. My son bought one of the programable ones and hated it and took back. It also comes in a larger 7quart, but my big one is still working.
