Are there any directions on how to use these liners. I saw a comment from one crock pot liner that said you had to add water to the bottome of the pot

There are instructions. The instructions don't say anything about adding water. I have used these for quit a while now and love them. I have never added water to the bottom of the pot.

There are detailed instructions included in the package. I have used these for years and have never needed to add water to the crock pot or oven dish. They make cleanup so easy and the zip ties are great for holding the steam and moisture in the bag.

I never heard of adding water. I don't. You need to wipe out the pot after use. That's all I do. I really like the liners, they save so much time when you don't have to soak and wash.

I've never added water and I love these. However, I cook frozen chicken breasts in them weekly, and there is always water left in the pot under the liner when I remove it. I don't think they leak because when I cook chili there is some water too, but no chili under the liner.

I have never added water to the bottom of the pot. Just open the liner in the pot, making sure that it is even all around. Add ingredients to the pot as normal, and put lid on the pot. I stand up the excess liner around the lid, in the event there is excess steam coming under the lid. Try to have the tightest seal possible. I have used 2 packages of these liners (on my 3rd) and haven't had any problem with them. I've also used them in the oven as cooking bags.

I've been using these successfully for over a year without putting water on the bottom of the pot.

I have never added water to the pot and have always had good luck with these liners.

I have never had to add additional water when using a liner. If I do a roast, chicken or other meat , I cut an onion and place it on top and that supplies any liquid. The good thing about the liner is you do not need additional water.

I have never put water in the bottom of the crockpot and haven't had any issues. Of course, there should always be some sort of liquid cooking with your food inside the bag.

you can use a crock pot and mix the solution per directions. BUT, once you use this crock pot, you can not use it again for Food. Please remember this. hope this helps you

Sorry to say I did not have much luck with them. I found that if I put the water on the ground next to the pot it would draw up the water. I resorted to the orange plastic tips that screw onto plastic bottle. You just poke them in the dirt next to the plant and the soil does the rest. They worked well for a 1 week vacation. Also found on Amazon on prime.

It was a pain.... I couldn't believe the location of them! I used veggie oil and let sit in the sink. Then used old fashioned elbow grease to be totally rid of them. They are awesome. Years ago I had a plastic set, but lost them in the divorce. The stainless steel are much better! Good Luck

I used them in an oval shaped crock pot at the other hotel I worked at prior. I'm not certain of the size crock pot that we had. They were large enough. It was the typical oval size crock pot you can pick up at Wal-Mart, etc.

I have an oven with hidden heating elements. I read the reviews and didn't read anywhere that the liner shouldn't be used on the bottom of this type of oven. I just received the liner and the box says, "For electric ovens that have hidden elements or gas ovens, place the liner on the lowest rack". I'm disappointed.

I hope that Crock-Pot will see fit to offer the inserts for this model. I chose this model because reviews were better regarding it not leaking, and I like the power base idea (I have an electric kettle that has a similar power base). Please, Crock-Pot, start offering inserts for this model, so users can prepare multiple meals on the weekend, and tote the inserts to work. Thank you!

You can get replacement inserts from the Crock-Pot website. Sometimes Amazon has a third party seller that carries the inserts as well, but they are usually double the price. Watch for a sale on Crock-Pot's site; I got mine for $5 each. I am pretty sure the inserts are made of stainless steel or aluminum. Not that you asked, but they clean up very easily!

I believe neither of those options would be wise or healthy for the crock. Better to warm the slow cooker in advance of what you wish to cook, with an amount of water in it.

Only a sheet of liner you can put on the bottom. I put my pots on the liner. Enjoy!

I didn't add extra water. Double check that the extra level of jars won't add to your cooking time, otherwise just use the same amount as a single level of jars.

I use the bottom liner only, and it seems to align both plates fine. I've tried the other brands of linersand I am the most satisfied with Ezos. Just make sure you soak them in warm water a few minutes, first.

I use the middle bowl in my crock pot as a double boiler for steel cut oats. I put water in the crock pot between the bowl and crock pot. Plus there is liquid in the bowl. I have no problems using it this way. The minimum amount of time to cook this way is 4 hours.

Boil them...pressure cookers are great for this. You can also clean them w bleach.

Use the liners as a pan and stand on a cookie sheet. I bought a pan as well and much preferred the pan to the liners. Did not cook evenly in the liner but was wonderful in the pan.

The only drawback not mentioned below (leftovers) is that you would need to clean the crock pot before putting in more food to slow cook. The outside of the crock pot needs to be dry before it is put back into the cooker. Recipes? Really?

I use the liners in my 6qt Crock Pot, and they are larger than I need. They also work fine in my 3 1/2 qt Crock Pot.
