Product Information

Online prices and sale effective dates may differ from those in-store and may vary by region. Dealers may sell for less. Moisture can form on the bag and drip down into the pot or outside the pot. This doesn’t affect the cooking. It just means you’ll need to wipe out the pot and the surroundings after use. The clean up won’t be entirely effortless but still shouldn’t entail soaking and scrubbing. Hot spots If this is a concern of yours, you can still use the foil to line the lid to ensure no heat escapes! 3. Silicone Insert

I’ve seen people use this approach, and I’m sure there are folks that really like doing it this way. Seems like a win, right? While slow cooker liners are designed to withstand high heat, some people may be concerned about the potential for chemicals from the plastic to leach into their food. It is important to ensure that the liners you use are specifically made for slow cookers and are BPA-free to minimize such risks.Parchment paper is a good substitute for slow cooker liners, you just need to make sure you are using it with the right recipes to avoid a mushy paper mess. 2. Aluminum Foil

Personally, I’m not a fan of using aluminum foil as a slow cooker liner. Let me explain. Research has shown that aluminum can leach into food in certain circumstances. And high temperatures and acidic foods (which can both be involved when slow cooking) can increase leaching.Size: With sizes starting at 1-litre through to a whopping 6.5-litres, choosing the right size for you is imperative. The smallest sizes are suitable when cooking for one or two. 3-litres to 4.5-litres (one of the most popular sizes on the market) serve four, and the large 6-6.5-litre models are super for families and batch cooking. It's also worth bearing in mind that the capacity stated on the sales blurb is the size of the bowl, not the working capacity, which can sometimes be half that. Based on what I’ve read, it sounds like it’s somewhat unclear how big of a health impact this has on people. But, I’d rather play it on the safe side and forego the aluminum foil lining. I’m not a doctor, that’s just the way I think about it for my own cooking. Cons: Using aluminum foil may increase the risk of metal leaching into food, especially when cooking acidic foods, and it is not an environmentally friendly option.

Not only does aluminum foil help to line a slow cooker, but the aluminum helps food to cook more evenly, which is always a win.

The problem with slow cookers, especially older ones, is that you might need to use a liner. These liners help make clean-up much easier, but they can be difficult to find and accumulate to quite a cost over time.

There aren’t many cons to using a silicon liner, other than the fact that you would still have to wash the silicon insert after using it, just as you would the actual slow cooker. Lightly oil or butter the inside of the pot before cooking — this step is highly recommended for certain dishes like slow cooker rice. A silicon insert is a cool invention to try out, but it would only be worth it if you use your slow cooker a lot, and are looking for a liner that you can use with almost any food in the slow cooker. Alternative: Oiling The Slow Cooker Plastics have a softening point. But, with normal use of typical slow cooker liners, you have no problems with this occurring.

Note: In February 2023, SL removed the post referenced above, but a December 2022 copy is available in the web archive. Plastic is derived from fossil fuels and the process of creating plastic emits greenhouse gases. Single-use plastic or nylon cooking bags are non-recyclable, non-biodegradable waste destined for landfills and oceans. By using two or more liners side by side, you can cook more than one item in the same pot. This is great news for someone within the family who requires a special diet or prefered foods. Put the lid on the pot ensuring a good seal. Optional: Stand the excess liner up around the lid to avoid steam from under the lid dripping down.
