Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners - Yummy Meals and Easy Clean-Up

I love cooking, but lets be honest, I hate cleaning up after I cook. So when I had an opportunity to try and review Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners, I was extremely excited. They say right on the box: "For Fast Easy Cleanup" and that claim is everything that it should be.

The first recipe that I tried with Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners was Balsamic Pork Roast.

Ingredients:
3 lb pork roast
1 Cup Chicken Broth
1/2 Cup Balsamic Vinegar
1 Tbsp Worcester Sauce
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Honey
1/2 tsp Red Pepper Flakes
1 tsp Dried Parsley Flakes
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Dried Basil
1 tsp minced garlic
1 Cup Cold Water
1 Tbsp Corn Starch
1 Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner

First I lined my slow cooker with my Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner
and gathered my ingredients.
I placed my pork roast fat-side up in my lined slow cooker
then mixed together all the sauce ingredients except for the 1 Cup of Cold Water and Corn Starch and poured it over the pork.
Then I placed the lid snugly on the slow cooker and cooked it for 6 hours on low.
Once the pork was cooked, I removed 1 Cup of the sauce from the cooker to a small sauce pan, mixed together the 1 Cup Cold Water and 1 Tbsp Corn Starch, and added it to the sauce in the sauce pan. Then I brought the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 1 minute to thicken.
Then I serve the sliced pork roast and the sauce with rice and a nice healthy vegetable. 
After dinner was over and the pan had cooled, I removed the remainder of the sauce and the Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner from the slow cooker and disposed of it.
The Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner left my pan nice and clean and all I had to do was wash the lid, rinse out the pan, and my slow cooker was clean and ready to be used again.

I tried another recipe only a few days later. This time I chose a recipe from the Reynolds® Kitchens website - Italian Meatball Soup.
The Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liner worked just as well this time as it did before, and my family got to try a yummy new recipe.  It tasted really good and the only draw back that it had was that the meatballs, made with ground turkey rather than ground beef, didn't hold together as well as I would have liked. But we liked this noodley soup well enough that this recipe will be added to my collection.

Overall, I really enjoyed this #sponsored #Crowdtap mission. I was very impressed with how well the Reynolds® Slow Cooker Liners did what they were supposed to do and made my duties in the kitchen easier.  I will definitely be purchasing and using this product again in the future to make many more yummy meals for my family.
