If you are busy with life like we are, we like to use the crockpot...a lot. Throw some stock, veggies, and meat in, turn that bad boy on and let it do its thing. Honestly, it is kind of hard to screw a meal up in the crockpot. I found the downside of crockpot cooking was that it was always a major PITA to clean. It's big, it's heavy, and you usually have to let it soak because something always gets crusty and nasty on the rim. It doesn't get clean in the dishwasher and still requires you to scrub it. Plus ours is huge and there is never room in the dishwasher for it anyway. It would often sit for days in the sink crying out to be washed, and my husband and I would do everything we could to avoid cleaning it, hoping and praying that the other one would clean the damn thing.

The Boulder slow cooker liners (we call them crockpot condoms in my house) so dirty, yet it keeps the crock clean hehe, are amazing. You slip these babies over your crockpot and dump in your ingredients per usual and get cooking. Once you're done, you throw the liner away, no muss no fuss. They have completely changed our crockpot cooking! No more crockpot soaking or scrubbing for us! It totally saves me a ton of time in scrubbing, real estate space in my sink, and what would have inevitably been days of avoidance in cleaning it. Mind Blown!
