…and also possibly invented by a woman??

I am a big fan of the slow cooker, but this has only come about in the last year and a half or so. Before that, I had my slow cooker and used it quite sparingly for the very reason that I hated soaking it and scrubbing it out after each use. One day Kevin’s Mom and I were talking in the kitchen while she was putting some chili in the slow cooker. I told her how I felt about the cleaning up part and she pulled out some slow cooker liners which I had never heard of before. I felt like she had just performed some kind of magic trick!!

These liners simply go into the bowl part of the slow cooker and all ingredients are then placed into the liner.

The bag doesn’t stick or melt onto the ceramic bowl during the cooking process at all.

Once you have emptied out the contents, you simply lift the bag out, throw it away and wipe out the ceramic bowl.

Pretty easy, right?!

When I first told my Mum back in Australia about the liners she laughed at me saying it was one of the laziest things she had heard of. It was only when she came to visit me and made some soup in the slow cooker that she was very easily convinced how great the bags were. She left the U.S with 4

boxes of the liners and continues to stock up on each trip she makes over here, taking some back for friends too.

I totally believe that a woman had to come up with such a brilliant idea as this one

In case you are wondering, the bags are sold in the same section as freezer/zip-lock bags in most grocery stores.
