			<description><![CDATA[<p>It can be very difficult to find a replacement lid for your crock pot or slow cooker. As our trusty older crocks get older, lids crack, handles break, and parts even get lost. Measuring the lid is imperative to ensure that the correct lid is ordered, and we are going to walk you through how to find the correct lid.</p><p><img style="width: 398px;" src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lids.jpg"></p><p>1. Find the model number of your crock pot. It may be on the front or back, or on the bottom of the pot.&nbsp;</p><p>2. If you have a Hamilton Beach crock pot, <a href="http://www.marbeck.com/hamilton-beach-slow-cooker-parts/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);">click here to see if we have a lid as a direct replacement for your pot</span>.</span></a></p><p>If you have a Rival crock pot, <span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);"><u><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"></span></u></span> <a href="http://www.marbeck.com/rival-crock-pot-parts/?sort=bestselling">click here to see if we have a lid listed as a direct replacement for your pot. </a></p><p>For all other slow cooker brands, <a href="http://www.marbeck.com/crock-pot-parts/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);"></span></span></a><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/search-by-measurements/">click here to see if we have a lid listed as a direct replacement for your pot. </a></p><p>If you find your model listed, verify that the sizing is correct.</p><p><br><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/crock-pot-parts/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"></a></p><p>3. If you do not see your model listed, now is the time to find the precise measurements of the lid.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">a. First, if your lid is oval shaped, measure the length of the longer side (diameter). Remember to find the measurement of the outer lip of the lid. Most lids are measured from the outside rim to the outside rim.</p><p><img style="width: 412px;" src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lid1.jpg"></p><p>This lid measures 10 - 1/8" long.</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">b. Next, find the shorter diameter across, or width.</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p><img style="width: 493px;" src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lid2.jpg"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><br>This lid measures 8 - 1/4" across.</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/10-1-8-x-8-1-4-slow-cooker-lid/" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);">The dimensions of this lid are 10 1/8" by 8 1/4". This lid matches up with the lid listed here.</span></span></a></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">If your lid has a gasket, see the pictures below on how to measure with the seal.</p><p><img style="width: 551px;" src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lid4.jpg"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">As you can see, the measurement closest to the outside rim of the seal is 11 1/4".&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p><img style="width: 514px;" src="/product_images/uploaded_images/lid3a.jpg"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">This lid is approximately 9" wide.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/products.php?product=11%252d1{47}4-x-9-Crock-Pot-Lid" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(38, 38, 38);"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);">The dimensions of this lid are 11 1/4" by 9".

If your lid is round, measure across from side to side, or the diameter.</p><p style="margin-left: 40px;"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p style="margin-left: 40px;">d. Search the following lids to find the dimensions that match up to what you measured.</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/oval-lids/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);">To search the inventory of oval lids by measurements, click here.</span></a></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/round-lids/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"><span style="color: rgb(99, 36, 35);">To search the inventory of round lids by measurements, click here. </span></a></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"><br><a href="http://www.marbeck.com/round-lids/?sort=bestselling" target="_blank"></a></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">4. Proceed with checkout after finding the correct lid.&nbsp;</p><p style="margin-left: 20px;"></p><p style="margin-left: 20px;">It's simple! Measure lids from across both directions, and take the dimension from the outer lips of the lid. If you don't find a lid that matches to your sizes, we unfortunately may not carry one that will work. If you choose to order a lid, and it doesn't end up working, don't worry! Marbeck has a 30 day return policy where you can simply ship the lid back after notifying us of the problem, and we can process a product refund for you. We at Marbeck hope that this simple guide to measuring lids will help you find the best replacement possible for your beloved crock pot or slow cooker. </p>]]></description>

special needs children and programs in the larger community correctly focus on

of physical or developmental challenges, people have a common desire to
contribute. More importantly, as our employees have learned, every special

	Driven by that original experience, Marbeck proposed a
“good deed” project that is designed to provide employment for a team of
developmentally challenged adults from Johnson County Developmental Support; a
local sheltered workshop. The Marbeck family quickly learned that this wasn't just any ordinary community service project, We soon realized it meant much more for our organization. </p><p>

special needs employees are treated and trained as teammates rather than a
project or charitable endeavor.</p><p>
	Our company operates in a highly competitive environment

	Special needs adults have an unemployment rate of up to 70%,

	You may be surprised to find that special needs employees
often use fewer sick days, show up on
time religiously, and don’t text or talk on the phone. Most of all, special
needs employees will inspire your staff to reflect on their own abilities even
as they gain a new understanding of
those who must overcome obvious limitations everyday of their lives.</p><p>
