Crock Pot Liners Saved My Life

Well, I'm exaggerating a little. They didn't really save my life exactly. But they sure made clean-up a lot easier...which makes my life easier. And who doesn't like easy?!?

I've been using Reynolds Slow Cooker liners for a while, they run about $4 for a box of 4...so $1 each. Expensive, yes. But totally worth it.

Then one day, I stumbled across a similar product that changed my life. Ok, exaggerating again, but seriously trust me on this one!

EZ Pans slow cooker/crock pot liners. THE BEST!

You've heard of crock pot liners, right? Basically, plastic-type "bags" you put into your slow cooker before you dump in the food. Then after cooking, you simply lift out the bag and toss it. Wipe down the inside of your crock pot with a damp towel (I use vinegar & water) and you're done. Simple, fast clean up. It makes me want to use the crock pot more and more, which is a huge time saver.

So here's another great thing about the EZ Pan liners. They cost about .30 cents each! I found a seller on Ebay who had them, but they are also available on Amazon.com....here's a link....free shipping too! You may not *need* 100 of them, but at this price you can either stock up for the year or share with friends.

Check them out and let me know what you think if you try them!

O.K. I am ready to dust off the trusty crock pot, and try the Reynold's liners! Crock pots are wonderful when you don't have time in the afternoon to do any cooking. Set it in the morning, and "fugetabowdit"! Happy coking!

I really need to get back into slow cooking. Especially if what they're saying is true and that this summer is going to be record-highs. Who wants to have the oven on during a hot day? The crockpot is great because you can put it anywhere. Stick it in the garage for 8 hours and it won't heat up your house!
Great idea Claudine, thanks!
