Cleaning a Crock Pot

June 30, 2011

simmering crock potAfter using my crock pot, I had a "cooked on, dried up" mess. I filled the crock up two thirds with water, added a drop of dish washing detergent, then turned it on low. After I came home in a few hours, I turned it off and let it cool. The "cooked on" mess was so easy to clean off!

The "high" setting works also, just depends on how quick you need it cleaned. I never have to avoid those messy recipes again.

How do you clean really scorched on food out of a slow cooker? I left a dessert recipe cooking too long and the chocolate cake is set like stone.



I got off quite a bit by filling it with water and heating/soaking it. I also did this with baking soda and with vinegar in the water.
Thanks for your help!

If I ever have cooked on food I use a dryer sheet. Just put the dryer sheet in the bottom & run hot water over it making sure that the water level covers the food & let it sit for an hour or so. Then just wipe the food off with the dryer sheet. Works everytime & I never scrub my cassorole dishes thanks to this little tip.

You can put water in it, but just a little. Use a green scrubber and keep wiping out the water with a sponge until it is clean. That's how I do mine.

Clean this part every time you use the crock pot and it won't get too stuck on.
