crockpots
« on: December 12, 2014, 08:53:12 PM »
Today, I had to go buy a Christmas present for somebody; a kid 20 years old who'd just moved into his own place and requested one for Christmas.

I found an excellent one; it has a removable bowl that can be taken out and cleaned.

The crockpot here is all one piece; one can't just dip it into the water-filled sink to clean it.

It's a hassle to clean. 

Does anybody have any easy method of cleaning one-piece crockpots that can't be tossed into the dishwater?

If you just wash the inside, you should be okay.  Rinse it clean, add some hot water and a little disk soap, and wash it.  Rinse it with fresh water.

I treat my cast iron pans the same way.  They don't go in the dishwasher.

Here's the peculiarity I have to deal with, with mine.

About halfway up the bowl, on the inside, there must be a "hot spot" to which food burns and adheres.

I don't consume the entire contents in one sitting, either alone or with others.

If I could take the bowl out, which I can't, and scrub it, it wouldn't be a big deal.

However, I can't do that, and I have to let water and soap soak in it overnight, so as to get off the burned food.

It may seem like a little thing, but it's such a pain it definitely discourages me from using it.

I usually soak pots if they won't come clean with regular scrubbing.  I guess I'm used to it.  I'm not destroying my fingers to clean something... I've washed enough dishes in my life.

You should have a lid for it.  Let it sit for a couple of days.

What do you cook in it?

Well, well, well.

I went to the local hardware store this morning (Wednesday morning) to pick up the crockpot I'd purchased for someone, which I'd left there so it'd be gift-wrapped.

The uncle of the owner's wife brought out two gift-wrapped packages.

One was for me, a gift from the owners.

It's a crockpot with a removable bowl (removable for cleaning).

Man, I can't think of a person in the world more fortunate than I am.

BTW Coach, our local grocery store carries crockpot liners for both round and oval inserts. You might want to look around for some.

Here's some from Amazon.....

Those liners make cleanup a lot easier.
