This review focuses on the 2 Pack Silicone Slow Cooker Liners designed for 6-7 Quart Oval Slow Cookers, which are reusable, food-grade, BPA-free, and claimed to be easy to clean. The liners are grey in color.
The product initially raised concerns due to its small size, seemingly unfit for any crockpot. Despite arriving rolled up and appearing warped, the warp was not noticeable during use. Its effectiveness in saving cleaning time for an 8qt crock has been appreciated. Although there were initial worries about the pick-up points interfering with lid closure, this was not an issue in practice.
The liners fit well in a 7 qt crockpot, aiding in cleanup and ensuring even cooking. Installation is straightforward, and cleaning is effortless. However, there’s a mention of a potential issue with the liner holding odors, though this was not experienced in the initial use.
A suggestion for improvement is slightly bigger handles, but this did not affect the liner’s functionality. A cautionary note is provided for users with smaller crockpots, as the liner might be too big, causing the sides to pucker and possibly affecting the lid fit.
The liners’ thickness and ease of use are highlighted, emphasizing the convenience of no longer needing to wash the heavy ceramic slow cooker pot. The silicone material is easy to clean and dishwasher-friendly, making it a preferable alternative to plastic liners that often leak.
The product’s packaging, however, has led to dimpling at the top of the liner, potentially impacting its use for those who don’t fill their pot to the top.
Overall, the liners are praised for their durability and practicality, especially for cooking multiple dishes simultaneously. They’re seen as a smart investment for frequent users of this model of crockpot and are beneficial in small living spaces like dorms and tiny houses.
