Holy cow really I want to do green beans but it has a small crack
Its huge and do not have any crock pot liner crock pot huge not crack lol
I think they are saying that the crack is small but the crockpot is huge.
Why the water in the crock pot before the cooking bag?
Can I use microwave steaming bags in a Hamilton Beach crock pot
Keeps the bag from burning and sticking to the bottom
Thank you for the GREAT tip!
Yes, you can use oven bags in a crockpot just like you would use them in an oven. I've put all the stuff in the bag, tied it loosely, in order to let steam escape. Works fine.
I do not use any cooking bags period. When exposed to high temps they give off chemicals which I can't begin to spell. These chemicals are potentially serious especially to young children. All your plastic wraps do the same thing when in the microwave, even the special cooking bags of veggies you "steam".
Don't use wax paper, it will leave wax, try parchment paper.
I'm doing a pot roast with the bag in the slow cooker. Should I have the meat or veg on the bottom side? Does it matter? Also is it okay that it is quite full?
I use crockpot liners consistently. I wish there were smaller ones so that I could cook several different items separately in the same pot. Tonight, for example, I used two big liners and felt I was wasteful because the small pork loin roast barely used any of one, and our two 1/2-ears of corn took another entire big bag.
I cut crockpot bags in half and use 1 of the halves in my smallest crockpot
Put corn in zip lock bag- close all of the way or bag tied. Cook 4 full ears on hi for 5 minutes in microwave. You can add butter if you lay them in square shape in bottom of bag. I add butter at table .
I've cut the bags diagonally and used them like triangles, point down. And gather them loosely at the top.
Wrapok oven bags 35x45 cm they work great for me they are smaller and do a great job.
I called Reynolds they said absolutely not
when the cooking bag companies are telling you not to use them they arent talking about in the pot. Some people assume if someone says yes you can use them, they mean without the pot in the slow cooker. So for insurance reasons to cover not getting sewed they say no.
