Liners for Slow Cookers?

One way to find out, try it?

How Cheap is a turkey bag? The Reynolds brand liners are about a buck each here, three pack is 3.49, not too bad.

Yes they can. I have used both in my crockpot. They are close to the same price so I don't think it really makes a difference.

Good to know. Thank you. Herself says that stores don't always carry the slow cooker liners but she can always find the oven bags.

My wife orders "one size fits all" crock pot liners from Amazon. They're MUCH less expensive than those in the stores (including Walmart).

Yes. We do it often. Clean up is a breeze.

Which liners (brand) do you use?

I bought a package of crock pot liners and have only used one. I got to thinking - how many chemicals are in those bags and do I really want to be ingesting more chemicals than are already in so much of the food we consume. I must admit, they sure make clean up very easy - great for camping

Are turkey bags the same as Look bags that are hard to find in my area.

It's a plastic bag. Unless you're buying your veggies directly from a farmer (not just a farmers market) and butchering your own meat, your food is being exposed to far worse things than a plastic bag.

I agree. Don't know if it's my overactive imagination but seems to be a slight chemical taste or smell when I use them. So at home, I just wipe the crock before using with olive oil and then soak it in hot sudsy water to wash.

But I'll probably use the liners on our next two-month trip when I want to have something hearty ready at the end up a busy day, because they really do eliminate that messy chore in a smaller kitchen.

Wife wants to know: can a turkey roasting bag be used as a slow cooker liner instead of those specialized products (which cost much more btw)?

Thank you for answering my question without hijacking my thread. You're very helpful :w
