February Product Review: Reynold's Slow Cooker liners

"Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners are 13"X21" liners, optimally-sized to fit 3 to 6.5 quart round or oval slow cookers. There are 4 liners in each carton, along with time saving tips and delicious recipes."


We were grocery shopping a couple weeks ago when my husband noticed these slow cooker liners on the shelf by the foils and wraps.  "Hey, you use that crock-pot thing alot why don't you try'em?" he said. That crock-pot thing he was talking about is my stand by appliance.  I have always said that a women must have invented the crock-pot or slow cooker, whichever you call it, because of it's shear genius design.  Just put your ingredients in, turn in on, and come back later to a fully cooked meal.  GENIUS!

Ok, well not so genius was the past design...

The integrated crock with the electronics all together made it VERY difficult to clean. If you were lucky, like me, you could have the slow cooker type with the metal bowl and separate heating element which was a step in the right direction.  But prayers were answered when the powers that be designed the removable crock, I thought it couldn't get any better.

I was wrong! So wrong!

Going on my husband's suggestion I purchased a box of Reynold's Slow Cooker liners.  I have used their baking bags before (another genius invention!) so I figured what the heck?

The idea is so simple-put the liner in the pot, place your ingredients in the liner, cover, and turn it on. Come back later, serve the meal, and then throw the liner away. You only have the lid to wash. That's it! I confess that I still rinse out the crock pot after use, but I bet you wouldn't have to if you didn't want to. I was worried above stirring and serving, but so far they have held up great. I have used these several times (like I said my crock pot is my stand by appliance) and have not be disappointed.  The only negative comment I have is that they only come 4 to the box!

February 2010 Product Review Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners

Positive points- Super easy to use!  Makes clean up a breeze. Even comes with recipes in the box...

Negative point- Only 4 in a box (should be 10!). They do cost about $1 each, but the time saved cleaning is worth it.

After reading some on the other online reviews going back a couple years, why haven't tried these sooner! Oh, by the way...I never would have tried them now if my husband had not suggested them.  I knew I loved him for some reason!
