A near miss with a cracked crucible at the old Johnson Foundry taught me to listen for that high-pitched hum.
I was pouring a 1500 degree bronze batch for a gear blank when I heard a faint ringing from the crucible wall and immediately shut down the pour, saving us from a major spill and potential injury, so what's your go-to method for checking crucible integrity before a big pour?

You heard the hum over the furnace noise?

Could be the electrical panel buzzing.
