Hi,
I’m from the Netherlands, Europe and we do have a slowcooker but we can’t buy liners cos they don’t sell them here! Can i use aluminum foil in place of the liner? Or baking paper?
Thanks in advance for answering.
Have a great day and i hope the weather’s nice where you are cos here it is.
Till next time.
Hi Marja! Can you spray your slow cooker with a cooking oil spray or brush it with some oil instead? I would not use foil or paper. The slow cooker liners are made of a special plastic. I hope this helps!
