Bag Up a Slow Cooker Liner

Liners for slow cookers are not widely commercially available in Australia, oven bags work just as well. I use them if I am making something particularly messy (I make ribs using my slow cooker) or something I want to have available for several hours like cocktail meatballs for a party or keeping mashed potato warm for a big meal to free up my stove. The size I use is 35cm x 48cm which is the large size. Clean up is a breeze.

Editor's note: Don't think this tip is "out of season", it's not. I use my slow cooker all year round and coming into Christmas baking and cooking time it really gets a workout. This tip is ideal for making fruit mince in the slow cooker, saving the soaking and scrubbing that the crock requires after making delicious, sticky fruit mince. Oven bags also make great liners for pudding basins used in the slow cooker. Cath
