Last Thursday, we hosted our monthly Facebook slow cooker chat with Michael Tyrrell, our associate food editor and slow cooker expert. One question that came up was:

Should you use liners in your slow cooker?

Several readers have asked this question before, during other chats. Michael tends not to use liners. (He’s fine with just prepping the bowl with cooking spray beforehand.) But other readers are fans for numerous reasons, including:

  • Cleaning up is super-easy. You don’t have to scrub food from the ceramic bowl. You just toss the liner in the trash.
  • You can just tie up the bag and easily transport your food to a friend’s house.
  • You may cut the risk of burning your food.

What’s your take on slow cooker liners? Do you use them?
