Reynolds has come out with a great new cooking bag that you use in your slow cooker. I love to cook in my slow cooker because of the convenience. I just put the meal on and leave it. However, cleaning the slow cooker after the meal was not always so much fun. Once the meal has cooked for hour apon hours the food tents to stick to the top and sides. This means you have to scrub the slow cooker t...

I think this might be the first review for a product I'm not happy with.  Not Your Mother's Slow Cooker Recipes for Two by Beth Hensperger looked and sounded lovely from the description offered by my  Book of the Month Club.  I only paid $9.99 which included shipping so it's not like I was out a lot of money. **This book contains absolutely no pictures except the ones...

I just tried the Reynolds Slow Cooker Liners. This product is to use with your slow cooker or crockpot. It is basically a plastic bag that you line your crockpot with. It's simple enough to use. You just put it in the crockpot and fold the edges of the bag over the edges of the crockpot. Then you place all your ingredients in the bag and cook the food following the recipe you have. The...

I use a slow cooker at least once a week, and while my older slow cooker is a workhorse, I needed a bigger model.  I was shopping for at least a 6 quart model and was thrilled when I stumbled upon a stainless steel GE slow cooker.  The GE slow cooker I found was a 6.5 quart model.  I loved the fact that it was a horizontal model, which meant I could easily cook ribs, whole ch...

I just recently purchased this crockpot to cook stews and the like so I can come home to a good smell. I have no complaints about this crockpot except I wish it had a self timer so I wouldn't have to always be present to always turn it on and off. This crockpot is relatively simple and has only 3 settings : high, low, and warming; I find this is fine and all I need for the foods I cook. Cle...

Hamilton Beach Stay/Go Slow Cooker is a handy slow cooker with some good features such as large, rubber griped handles for safe and easy carrying. It also has a lid rest to keep the lid out of way but in place so you do not have to lay it on the counter. The lid also has a grip handle on the lid where the spoon clips into so that the spoon does not get lost if you take this pot some where. ...

While in Home Depot I snagged a few special deals that I wasn't really even going for but when a deal comes along, what's a person to do but take it graciously and then while walking out of the store - jump for joy at the awesome savings they've just pocketed!I've wanted a slow cooker for  awhile now but just couldn't seem to justify the cost of one that a) didn't h...

 Although I have a few slow cooker recipe books I wanted to see what was new and interesting out there so I went over to the local Chapters store and found this very thick 500-plus recipe collection that comes in a sturdy 5 ring binder with lots of images both on the cover and inside.The book is meant to be added to so you can easily make up your own recipe cards as there is still room to ...

As someone who hates to cook, a slow cooker is a blessing. I can put everything in it in the morning and forget about it until I'm ready to eat. However, I've owned several slow cookers/crock pots over the years and most were either a real pain to clean or burnt the food. I learned that if I wanted to use it, I had to keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Recently, I heard about a ...

I am a huge fan of my slow cooker, crock pot, whatever you want to call it. Review to come on it later...wink wink! As a busy mom of 5 who is on her way to full-time working outside the home, I am always looking for a good dinner, made easy. And the crock pot provides that. Now can you imagine my delight at finding a cookbook that would utilize all my crock pots from smallest to largest?! I can...

After enjoying my T-Rex helicopter, I was looking into a cheap, relaxing plane. Cheap was the essential part, for I was fairly low on cash. I asked around on the forums, and finally came to a decision - The GWS Slow Stick. They told me the Slow Stick (Or SS) would be an excellent trainer plane. I had never flown a true RC plane before, so getting a trainer plane would suit me. I went to Tower H...

I received the Hamilton Beach 3 in 1 slow cooker for Christmas and it is wonderful!  It comes with three different sized inserts. two quart, four quart and six quart.  I have had issues cooking with slow cookers before and ending up with a lot of dry meat, which seemed strange to me when it was sitting in liquid.  I learned that slow cookers worked best when they are th...

I love to cook and experiment with different foods, but there are some days that I just perfer to throw some ingredients into a pot and let it cook all day.  That is why I love my Hamilton Beach slow cooker.My slow cooker is as simple as anything can be.  You have the choice of off, warm, low and high.  That's it!  It is a 7 qt pot and is large enough to m...

Me and my fiancee got this slow cooker as a gift for my bridal shower. We love it. It is so easy to clean up. It is easy to travel with because it has clips on the side and a spill resistant gasket around the lid. Ours came with little tags that you can slip into the side. So people know whats in the slow cooker. We do a lot of Cooking in the slow cooker. We were going for the stainle...

I love a good meal from the crock pot - they taste like you have been standing over the stove all day with minimal work.  However until recently I never really made more in my slow cooker than pot roast or stew.  I knew there were a lot more things I could be making so I kept my eye out for a good slow cooker recipe book.While browsing through a LTD Commodities catalog, I found the Sl...

Reynolds slower cooker liners are one of my favorite new kitchen products. I have a slow cooker that is only one piece. The bowl on it does not remove for cleaning so to wash it out you have to be very careful about how wet you get it. Then there is the problem with food sticking to it. Enter Reynolds slow cooke liners. They are clear plastic bags that expand to fit slow cookers from 3-6.5 quar...

For Christmas last year we received this 6-quart Rival Jeff Gordon, endorsed by Hendrick Motorsports, crock-pot slow cooker.  We're Nascar fans, and Jeff is one of our drivers, so the gift giver was right on the mark with this one.The cooker is a large 6 quarts.  I really like the shape of this crock-pot.  It's oval.  I've never owned an oval crock before.  ...

I am a very visual person so I like a cookbook with lots of pictures.  Although it should be easy to find such a cookbook, it isn't.  I actually came across this one by accident when I was waiting for my husband at Barnes and Nobles.  It was on the discount rack by the checkout.Since it was close to Christmas I showed it to my son and husband and informed them this is the exa...

I received the Rival 6-quart Smart Pot Crock Pot at my wedding shower. Since we didn't have a house yet, it sat at my sister-in-law's in storage for a while. Once we moved into our house, it went into the pot cabinet and I never used it. Last year, I finally decided to break out the crock pot and give it a try and I find myself wondering why I didn't do it sooner.The Rival 6-Quart S...
