Does Anyone Have a Liner??

I have a slow cooker or crock pot. I love it. But I have to confess, I don’t always wash it out right away after using it. Occassionaly, I let it sit in my sink with some water in it, so that I can scrub off the bits of the meal that was cooked onto the sides of the crock pot.

Well ladies and gentleman, hold onto you seats because there is a wonderful invention that can save us all a bit of time. Woo Hoo! Let me hear you say, “Yeah!!!!” It is a SLOW COOKER LINER!!!! This is the most amazing invention since sliced bread.
I love to use this in my slow cooker. It has saved me hours of cleaning and scrubbing. This is what you do. Go to the grocery store and purchase a slow cooker liner. You will find them in the section with the other plastic storage bags. The slow cooker liners should be right next to the over bags. At this time, there is only one company that I have found that makes these types of bags, Reynolds.

There are two different ways that you can use the slow cooker liners. The first way is to place the liner in your crock pot. Place the ingredients into the slow cooker liner and cook away. I have done it where you wrap it around the edge of the slow cooker. I have found that some times the moisture will leak down the side of the bag. I think this depends on the way your slow cooker is made though. The other way I have used my slow cooker is to tie it at the top so that all the moisture stays in the bag. I really like this when I make my Italian Chicken Dish.
Another thing that I like to do as well is prepare my slow cooker meals ahead of time and place them in the freezer. I like to take the slow cooker liners and put all the ingredients for my meal in the bag. I wrap top tightly and place the slow cooker bag with the ingredients into a zip top bag. This makes crazy mornings manageable because all I have to do is take the meal out of the freezer and place it directly into my crock pot. Turn the crock pot on, and I am set for the day.
