I'm making a whole chicken in the crockpotIt has an hour left to cook and I want to brown the skin under the broiler once it's doneI'm wondering if I can just take the lid off and put the ceramic part, that contains the chicken, under the broiler in the oven? I know that they can go in the oven at lower temperatures, but I'm not even going to leave it in that longJust up to a few minutes to brown the skin, and I don't even think it will take that longThe chicken is resting on foil balls if that matters.
The liner of a crockpot is ceramic, and has been fired at a _much_ higher temperature than your oven will ever be able to reach - even on the self-clean cycleSo yes, you can put it under the broilerThe thing you have to watch out for is thermal shock - putting a cold pot into a hot ovenSince you're already heating the liner in the crockpot base, that's not going to be a problemJust don't do something like cook the chicken, put it in the fridge, and then put the cold chicken and liner into the hot oven - THAT could lead to crackingGood luck, and enjoy cooking.
