Ceramic Crock Food Compost Bin - White 2.8L 5 "EXCELLENT" Mrs Bedford 29 June 2015 Delighted with this crock. Had to replace the lid (husband's fault) but fortunately Lakeland sell replacements. Handle can be taken off easily, but once you are aware of this it's quite safe. I put my pot and lid in the dishwasher regularly (minus the handle) and have had no problems with crazing or cracking after many years. It looks good on the kitchen windowsill and doesn't smell when the lid is on. I do use the filters though.
Ceramic Crock Food Compost Bin - White 2.8L 5 "Had it years, recently cracked ++ due to heavy-handedness!" Linda Davis 23 October 2013 Ours lasted 6 or 7 years. I'm a accident prone, so we abandoned the lid. It developing cracks very recently due to my heavy-handed banging of dishes and pots on the rim! A piece of cardboard in the bottom soaks up fluids and enables easy emptying. I dry it with a damp eco-cloth. No mould. Washing it is easy by hand after emptying the compost into a paper bag. I dry it with a damp eco-cloth, & mould has been no problem. I put a piece of cardboard on the bottom to absorb moisture and enable easy emptying. Nothing could match this one, and I look forward to a new crock, same again.
