Have used this 10Qt crock pot only 3 times, after cleaning I noticed this small crack that I had not seen before, do you feel this is unsafe to use and I need to replace? Any advice or recommendations appreciated! The inside of the crock pot does not have any cracks where food would be.

That is a pretty significant crack. If possible return it and get it replaced. You run the risk of it breaking while cooking. It isn’t worth the risk to keep using it.
Does it go all the way through?
I wouldn’t trust it!
I dropped mine and had a much bigger crack and it worked fine until I banged it against the sink after cleaning it.
Just want to note…if you are looking to replace anything–you’re probably better off buying a whole new unit than replacing the pot. I busted my pot on my little guy and to replace the pot was 20+ dollars, to buy the exact one new…$7. just look around for deals.
What brand of crockpot is it? That looks like a very standard for the pot itself. So easy to replace. It a super cheap (same size) pot and replace the cracked one. Not sure if you’re in the US. But target today has this crockpots $14.99 https://www.target.com/p/hamilton-beach-kitchencollection-slow-cooker/-/A-94608567
