The quick answer is yes to the crock pot lid for the short term or as an emergency measure only.  If the crack doesn't go all the way across the lid then what you cold do until you receive a replacement one is to use foil to line the lid on the underside which will also give it a seal so no steam or heat can escape.  Also, if the lid does break you have protection for the food you have just cooked.

If you are moving the crock pot such as for a Pot Luck Party then I wouldn't advise  using the cracked crock pot lid at all. The chances are high that the crack will spread or break while moving and others will be using the lid so it's a safety issue.

If you have crock pot with a cracked base then again don't use it.  It's not worth being electrocuted over a meal.  Don't try and mend it either as you aren't guaranteed of a proper seal or the sealer may contaminate the food.

You can find crock pot lid replacements on manufacturers sites, that is, if they are fairly new models, and on eBay.  I think it is a matter of deciding how much you want to spend on replacing your crock pot lid, finding the correct one for your crock pot model, using another lid that fits (easier if it is a round crock pot) or replacing the whole crock pot.

If it is an old crock pot then really think twice but as I own one myself and love it I would try and replace the crock pot lid if I could.
