Help cleaning the crock-pot!?

Question

I tried a new recipe the other day and it was a disaster.  It was supposed to be a breakfast recipe, and among the ingredients were apples and honey.  It said to cook for 7-9 hours, so I put it in just before bedtime, but in the night I started smelling a burning smell (after maybe only 3-4 hours), and when I checked it at the right time it was a MESS.  I soaked it immediately, but it didn't come clean.  We have tried boiling water, repeatedly, and every kind of cleaner we can think of. We have soaped and scraped and scrubbed.  Finally there is only a tiny bit left, but it is STUCK around the bottom edge.  

Do you know what we can use to get the residue off that won't damage the crockpot?  It's almost new and I hate to spend the money to replace it if I can avoid it.  

Next time I will use one of those crock-pot bags!

Fill your crock pot with water and dish soap.  Then cook on "Low" for at least a few hours.

If the residue still sticks after this, scrub with a Brillo or S.O.S. pad.  I use these pads on ceramics all the time.  

Good luck.

Try filling your pot about half full of water and cook it on low until what is stuck loosens

Repeat what you've been doing, or use a knife to get into the angle
