I've seen the commercials but haven't tried the product. It does sound like
a good idea, kind of like the Reynolds oven bags. Anything that makes
clean-up simple has my vote; I plan to give them a try.

I saw them at the supermarket. Compared them to the oven cooking
bags and decided the oven bags are cheaper and serve the same
purpose. They are made from the same material.

Ah! Now see, I was wondering about that. I was going to mention in my
reply to Andy I'd have to check what the price is, too.

This might be an item I might want as well.

Thanks Wayne. I never thought to use either, until I saw the reyonds TV
commercial.

Sounds like it, if they'll fit your slow cooker.

Jill

I'd be curious to hear your take on this. I use my slow cooker for all
sorts of things and never had to do more than soak it overnight to clean
it. I just scoffed at the commercial as one more useless gimmick - sort of
like pre-wrapped microwave potatoes.

Finding the idea of cooking in plastic somewhat abhorrent. Not in all
these years of using a slow cooker has it ever been difficult to clean
afterwards.

Hardly like pre-wrapped microwave potatoes. I mostly do not use a bag in the
slow cooker, but I find it convenient for cooking roasts and similar. Remove
the roast and you have a bag full of juices. You can remove the bag, snip
the corner and let the juices flow into a sieve or whatever. Naturally, it
does leave the crock virtually spotless. I don't like having to leave
anything overnight to soak. I can pop the crock into the dishwasher
immediately.

I only considered them valuable if one had a crock pot that doesn't have
a removable liner, which makes clean up a nuisance. Otherwise, IMO,
they're just a gimmick to get my money away from me, and fill up the
landfills. How hard is it to clean a crock pot? I've never had a problem
with it.

I do that with my crock pot already, no bag necessary. And I have a
ladle for the juices. The bag is just a waste, IMO.

It is very difficult for me to clean up the smaller crockpot and now I have
a large one; but I have a large DH, too. If it weren't for him, there
wouldn't be any slow cooking here. The liners could make it possible for
physically challenged people who can't lug the heavy crocks back and forth
under the spigots to wash and rinse.
But, I agree with you, a young vital healthy person (and they are in the
majority) wouldn't really NEED a liner. I still think there is a fine line
between want and need.

Well, you're probably right, Goomba, but I find it convenient for me. I
guess I like "gimmicks". <g>

BTW, I think of you often when I use my spaetzle maker!

Wundebar!! With lots of emmenthaler cheese and caramelized onions!?
I have lamb chops planned for tomorrow, but that sure would be a good
meal. I'm going to have to do some soon.

Wayne Boatwright said:

Oh, that sounds good! I've never made that. Do you just mix in the cheese
and caramelized onions into the hot dumplings? I usually make the
dumplings to serve with either veal or chicken paprikash, with plenty of
the gravy to go over the dumplings.

Just layered in a casserole between layers (batches) of the spatzle.
Lots of ground black pepper too. And always (ALWAYS) do up way more
onions than you think you'll need-they're the best part and cook down so
much you'll always want more. Trust me 🙂

I WILL make this when I can splurge from my WW diet! I WILL trust you on the
onions. I love them caramelized. Thanks!

Eggsactly...

Both slow cookers and oven bags have been out now for over 30 years
now, in all the time I've used crockpots they've never been at all
difficult to clean. I recently got a new West Bend slow cooker with
the white porcelain insert and it is a SNAP to clean up...even with
stuff like spaghetti sauce that was in the cooker for over 12 hours.

This product is just a gimmick, obviously designed for lame brains. I
can't imagine buying this, the whole concept is laughable...

It reminds me of Thanksgiving 1964 when my aunt instead of serving us
turkey served us this new - fangled Space Age "turkey loaf"...it was
supposedly "the next big thing".
