Instructions from the Dollar Stretcher website on alternatives to using slow cooker liner bags for cleaning slow cookers easily:
Spray the inside of the slow cooker with cooking oil (vegetable oil or canola oil, or sunflower seed oil). If you don’t have cooking oil spray cans, dip your kitchen paper towel into cooking oil and wipe the inside of the slow cooker before using the slow cooker for cooking food.
After cooking food in a slow cooker, you can soak the slow cooker pot in hot water, baking soda powder and vinegar for two hours to overnight, then scrub the pot clean with warm water and dishwashing liquid. This is much more affordable and environmentally friendly than using plastic slow cooker liner bags for clean up.
Alternatively, after cooking you can add 1-2 cups of baking soda, half to one cup of vinegar and 2 cups of water to the slow cooker (the amounts vary depending on how big your slow cooker and how dirty it is). The exact amount of baking soda, water or vinegar doesn’t matter, but the water and vinegar mix needs to cover the food stains. Turn on your slow cooker for 1-2 hours (high setting) and the slow cooker will heat the water vinegar mixture. After that you can scrub the slow cooker pot with warm water and dishwashing liquid.
