Why did my slow cooker lid crack?

Slow cooker lids can shatter due to extreme heat and temperature shocks because of their construction. Most crockpots come with glass lids that can retain heat up to a certain level. If you leave your slow cooker on for several hours, the heat buildup inside it can shatter the glass lid or render it useless.
