I turned it on and it heated up pretty quick it had kind of a weird smell like it was sitting a long time. I mostly got it cuz I really like the design and it was $4 but I don’t want my house to burn down. If it’s not safe I’ll just repurpose it into a flower pot or something..

I use one exactly like that, it was my grandmother’s. It’s perfectly safe.
Im sure its fine, but pics of the plug and heating coil are probably better to tell if its actually safe?
If it isn’t cracked I don’t see why not?
Just as safe as the new ones. The smell was probably from the heating element burning off years of dust. It should not continue to smell after a good long hot cook.
Have you ever seen This Is Us?
Don’t watch This is Us ….
We still have my mom’s from the 70s.
Mine‘s about 45yrs old, still just fine 👍
I would have said yes years ago–but now I’ve seen This Is Us, so, no. I would just go buy a new one.
Holy crap, that’s a blast from the past. My parents had that exact crock pot as well the model with the green insert and vines on the side.
Please make sure the cords are still good but I would personally just repurpose it.
