Has anyone tried these yet? They sound like a great idea, but haven't actually seen them up here yet.

I would think the crock pot liners wouldn't change things too much, given the way crock pots work. Oven bags on the other hand would create a microclimate inside the bag which would be vastly different from the oven itself.
My crock liner comes out too. Wouldn't have it any other way. They make some now with non-stick pans that go from crock pot to stove to table. Designed so you can brown your meat, but it on the crock pot and lift out to the table. Neat idea. Expensive though.
When I just want one cup of coffee I usually just use the single cuppa filters that dangle into the cup. I do have one of those single cup coffee machines though. Just seems a chore to clean after only one cuppa.
Splurged at Christmas and bought myself a new tea kettle. It's a glass cordless kettle. Love it. Looks so much better with the glass.

True, but not all of us have a dishwasher! :)
Most of the time, mine isn't that difficult to clean, but there is the odd time when a liner would come in real handy!

Wish they'd refine cellophane a bit more so it could be used in these situations. At least it's recyclable. Could be used in a lot of situations where plastic is used now.

Hi Brenda,
No, but I've seen the commercial of the woman
scrubbing away while the other woman who did
use the liner is putting on her makeup. :)
The do sound like a good idea - I wonder if they
alter the cooking any? Oven bags do.
As I mostly use my crockpot for keeping stews
warm or sausage and peppers, I don't have all
that much to clean. I do, however, recommend
the removable inner lining of the crockpot. So
much easier to clean.
One of my Christmas gifts was a little one-cup
stainless steel coffee maker with a pound of
gormet coffee. I keep meaning to bring it to
the office so I can have a nice little cuppa
coffee/tea in the afternoon. :)

I've only ever seen magazine ads for them. Reynolds markets them. Just a plastic bag type liner you place in your crock before you put the food in. When everything is done, you just lift out and throw away.
Ha! Would REALLY like one for the rice cooker! :)

I would love to try one - I use mine mostly for roasts, and they make
quite a mess. I hate scrubbing out the crock. Somehow I've missed
the advent of these liners.

My Crockpot is an old Rival, probably more than 20 yrs. old, w/ a
removable stoneware (?) pot. It's never been hard to clean. If I think
something is likely to stick, I spray it w/ generic PAM, or I soak it
for a while. It will fit in the DW, but takes up a lot of room. It
also fits in the microwave, so I sometimes reheat things in it.
Most stuck-on glop comes off very easily if you add cold water and a
good handful of baking soda and let it sit for a couple of hours or
overnight. I find most burned-on residue just floats off after a while.
