My children despise certain veggies -- each different, of course. Can you cook different veggies inside your crock pot in Ziploc type bags? For instance, when making veggie beef soup, since neither child likes corn, could I put the kernel corn in a quart bag with small holes pierced in the bag and place inside the crock pot with all other ingredients? This way the corn cooks along with the soup and even allows the flavor to mingle. Then when ready to serve the kids don't pick out the corn, but hubby and I can add some from the bag to our bowl. Sounds like a win-win this way. Is this possible? I aways cook on low heat.

I think you can heat the veggies in a separate bag but not in the ZipLock etc., storage bags as they are not made for cooking. Instead, purchase slow cooking bags made for slow cookers and use those.
Hi there! Well one point I would like to raise and I'm not 100% certain so please take this with a grain of salt. There have been multiple studies published about the health impacts that plastic play on our bodies and its everything from headaches, fatigue and nausea and there are more but I will not list them all. Now on the other subject of the pickiness of children I completely understand. I don't have children of my own but I helped to raise my niece and nephew and they got to the point where I was so concerned that they were not getting proper nutrition. Thus I started on a mission to figure out how to bring peace to our table and peace of mind that they are getting good nutrition and I found the following book, Deceptively Delicious by Jessica Seinfeld.
No. Ziplock bags are not made for heat.
