Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners, 4-Count (Regular Size, Pack of 12)

I used these on a Sunday afternoon making a slow-cooked chicken dish that usually leaves the pot coated by the end of the day. After serving, I was already bracing for the usual soak and scrub, but I just lifted everything out in one go and the inside was basically clean. It felt a little strange not having to deal with stuck-on sauce for once. While it was cooking, I didn’t notice any weird smells or anything affecting the food, which I was a bit cautious about at first. The liner held up the whole time without tearing when I stirred or checked on it. One thing I paid attention to was making sure it sat evenly before adding everything, since it can bunch up a bit if you rush it. After that, it just stayed in place and did its job. For something that saves that much cleanup time, it’s hard to go back to not using them.

Fits the variety of crocks I have. Easy to place in the crock and when done easy to pull out for easy clean up. Durable and tough to tear

I decided to start making real food for myself on a more regular basis which is difficult when I work 12 hours a day plus a 2 hour commute. Crockpottery (?) combined with a timer on the outlet seemed to be the answer. I hate cleaning out the crockpot and it discourages frequent use when you have to scrub caked on gunk out of it every time. The slow cooker bags seemed to be the answer and for the most part, they are. I have a medium sized round crockpot. I have no idea how big it is because Crockpot brand doesn't label their crockpots (only the boxes which I threw away years ago). Let's just say it is big enough to make a decent dinner plus leftover lunch for three people. I am only one person (but my roommate does eat some of the meals too) so I can make a full crockpot meal and have it for a filling dinner and about 3-4 hearty lunches as leftovers. What size do YOU think that makes the crockpot? Okay anyway... The reason I am harping on the size of my crockpot is because the bags do fit inside the crockpot pretty well and only require a little scrunching since they are definitely designed with a more oval shaped crockpot in mind. They keep the majority of the food out of the ceramic part of the crockpot but I haven't made a meal yet that didn't have at least SOME leakage. There is always a liquid that escapes through the bag. Is the liquid leaking annoying? Yes. Does it completely defeat the purpose of these bags? No. Having a little liquid leak out of the bag is far better than the actual solid food cooking in the ceramic. When it is just a liquid, all it takes to clean it is a quick swish of soapy water and it is good as new. No soaking. No scraping. No scrubbing. No anger.

These liners make clean up so easy. No scrubbing

Food stays moist Doesn't burn I add water under the bag as well as in the bag Then rubberband the bag closed over the lid around the cover know Keeps everything inside Even if I overfill it To compensate for the beans & barley absorbing a lot of water A-1 product
