What are slow cooker liners?
I often get the question on the blog, “what is that bag in your slow cooker?” it’s a handy dandy
Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner! These liners help you save time and get ahead of your
day, by checking dinner and cleanup off your list.
Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liners give you fast and easy clean up and avoid the dreaded
slow cooker soak and scrub. After your store your leftovers, all you need to do is pull out the
liner and discard it. That’s it – fast and easy clean up!
The liners are made from a special BPA-free blend of nylon that is suitable for cooking foods in
slow cookers on high, low or warm settings.
- Reynolds Kitchen® Slow Cooker Liner: Line your slow cooker with a Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner for easy clean-up.
- Pork Chops: Boneless pork chops, regular or thick cut; these are often called top loin pork chops. Bone-in pork chops tend to be too big for this recipe unless you overlap them.
- Potatoes: Use buttery Yukon gold potatoes for this recipe. If you don’t have those, red potatoes are preferred over russet potatoes.
- Herb Sauce: Salted butter, chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper make the sauce for the entire recipe.
Step One – Mix the herb sauce by adding the melted butter, chicken broth, fresh lemon juice, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Add the cornstarch and whisk until smooth.
Step Two – Open a Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner and place it in your slow cooker insert. Smooth out any bunched-up areas, then smooth out the sides on the outside of the crockpot.
Step Three – Add the sliced Yukon gold potatoes into the liner.
Step Four – Next, add the boneless pork chops, making them fit into a single layer.
Step Five – Sprinkle over the sliced onions.
Step Six – Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or until the potatoes are tender.
Clean-up directions:
- Remove and store any leftovers in containers and place them in the fridge.
- Next, remove the Reynolds Kitchens® Slow Cooker Liner from the slow cooker. That’s it! That’s how easy clean-up is when you use a slow cooker liner.
Recipe FAQs
You do not want to latch the lid with the liner in place while cooking. Though, if the slow cooker is off and you need to transport your dish, you can latch it.
You never want to lift the liner out of the slow cooker full of food; it may cause a spill. If you have cooled off your food in the slow cooker and have put the entire insert in your fridge, then yes. Otherwise, the food should be removed from the liner and the food placed in another container to store.
Yes, this recipe is lovely with chicken too.
Yes! You can use two teaspoons of dried dill instead of Italian seasoning or two tablespoons of fresh.
No! The cooking time remains the same as if you weren’t using a liner, but your cleanup will be
fast and easy!

Hello miss Sarah, hope this finds you well, why does your recipe suggest bot using baby potatoes, I was given 2 bags of nibbles worlds smallest potatoes, and would not like to waste them. Should I cook the pork by itself and prepare them separately?
I believe they will be fine as long as you don’t slice them. I hope that helps!
