Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners, Small (Fits 1-3 Quarts), 5 Count

Reynolds Kitchens Slow Cooker Liners are disposable bags that sit inside the pot of a slow cooker, holding the food so the cooking vessel itself stays clean. They are typically used for dishes that tend to bake onto the sides during long cooking times, such as chili, pot roast, pulled pork and soup.

• 5 liners per package
• Each bag measures 10.5 x 17.5 inches
• Sized for round slow cookers of 1 to 3 quarts
• Nylon-blend material, BPA-free, heat resistant to 400 degrees Fahrenheit
• Rated for low, medium and high settings
• FDA-compliant and food-safe

This small size suits compact cookers rather than family-size models, so check the capacity of your pot before ordering. Reach for a liner when you are cooking something sticky or slow simmered and would rather lift the bag out at the end than soak and scrub the insert.

To use a liner, open the bag and drape it over the rim of the insert before adding any food or liquid. Smooth it against the sides so there are no large air pockets that could cause uneven cooking, then fold the excess over the outer edge to keep the bag in place while you fill it. Once the food is done, let the contents cool for a few minutes before gathering the top of the liner and lifting it out carefully, as the trapped steam and liquid will still be very hot. Tie off the bag before discarding to contain any grease or residue.

For storage, keep unused liners in a cool, dry spot away from sharp utensils that could puncture the nylon. The compact 10.5 by 17.5 inch size is worth measuring against your insert before your first use, since some oval slow cookers in the one to three quart range have proportions that make fitting the bag trickier than round models. This product suits single people, couples, or anyone batch-cooking smaller portions rather than full family meals. If you regularly cook for a larger group, the small format will not stretch to fit a six or eight quart cooker, and a larger liner size would be the better choice.
