Toastabags Slow Cooker Liner (Pack of 25)

Product Information

A slow cooker saves you a bunch of pots and pans to clean but there’s still that one pot that needs soaking and scrubbing. I’ve been using the single use plastic bags linked below and recycling them a few times, washing them out, and they are still going strong! More reliable food media sources debate the safety or danger of cooking with plastic in the context of sous vide. Fast fry steak – you can try using another cut of beef, just make sure it’s cut thinly so it cooks the same.

The cooking bags were easy to dismiss as absurd because: (1) the bags are a solution to a problem that does not exist, (2) nearly everyone is aware of the decades-old health advice to avoid plastic in the kitchen, and (3) environmental issues like the Great Pacific Garbage Patch are real. Bon Appetit says “you should sous vide only if you’re comfortable with the gray area surrounding the effect of chemicals in non-BPA plastics.

Less water needed in the cleanup — You won’t need to soak your slow cooker and this means you will use less water.

You may choose to leave out the broccoli and add it separately from the rest of ingredients in the last 30 minutes of cook time to avoid overcooking it.

As you’ve used ziplock bags, you’ll be able to lay them down easily and they will stack on one another really well.
