Slow cookers provide wonderful "fix-it and forget-it" convenience for busy cooks, but the convenience often ends when it comes time to clean up -- especially if you've made a particularly sticky or difficult to clean baked on food (think chili, ribs, lasagna, etc.).

No more. The ingenious folks at Reynolds (yes, the same folks that bring you the great aluminum foil) have come up with with liners that make clean up as instant as throwing away a litter bag.

The heat proof liner bag goes into the slow cooker, the food goes into the liner. After you've finished eating, you merely remove the liner, throw it in the trash, and your slow cooker is ready to go back to its storage space. What could be easier than that?

Liners are optimally sized to fit 3 to 6.5 quart round or oval slow cookers and come packaged four to a box.
