My crockpot is ceramic (which I know is safe) but I am worried about the heating element. Some people say if it's made with a nonstick material it is only dangerous if it gets to a certain high temperature, others say it's dangerous even at low temperatures. Any time I have cooked with it in the past (before we got Yogi) I have always cooked with it on the "warm" setting which is very low.

I use a Crockpot and have never had any problems! Codie is in a separate room to the Kitchen though.

I have Yogi in the living room but it's connected to the kitchen so it's not that far away from him

Codie is in the Dining Room which is right next to the Kitchen.

My birds are right next to my kitchen and I also use my crockpot on high a lot. It also has a ceramic liner.

That type would not be safe, But the ceramic one should be
