Plastic bags were not meant for slow cookers! They melt with heat, you have ruined your slow cooker. The liners were made for the slow cooker.

I have to agree with attic_treasures, the plastic bag would melt. Besides even if you could use a plastic bag in a slow-cooker you would be taking a foolish risk by using a plastic bag. Harmful toxins could be released into your food from the plastic. I'm all for saving money but I would never gamble with my health or the health of my family.

No a regular plastic bag would melt in the crock pot. It's not made for cooking.
