Diposable Liners For Your Slow Cooker?
Filed in archive Gadgets on September 25, 2005
The makers of Reynold's Wrap announced a new product recently: disposable crock pot liners.
Cleaning a slow cooker isn't that hard (soak it overnight in soapy water) so I'm not sure I understand the value of these liners. Besides, what if you accidentally slice through the liner while scooping out the food or drip sauce along the outer rim? Now you've got to wash the pot anyway, right?
I say forget the liners and use the money to buy some great microbrewed beer to go with the chili that's been cooking all day.

Are you kidding me?! I absolutely cannot live without my slow cooker.
I am a mother of a two year old and an exclusively breastmilk fed two month old. I also work out of the house full time and use my slow cooker almost every day. It is the only way my family gets a hot meal. I don't have time to let the bowl soak overnight because after dinner I have to prepare the next nights meal.
In regards to the concerns about plastic touching food long term, I have a BS in Biology and have read research discussing this very matter. Yes, plastic molecules, in general, do come off onto your food and whatever is stored in the container. But that is over time as the container is used over and over. Your concerns would be better directed at bottled water and tupperware type containers. Don't forget that teflon and other non-stick coatings, which cause more problems come off as you cook in non-stick pans.
Hats off to the good people at Reynolds for helping all those busy families!!!
