I don't use at home much because the crock part of my cooker cleans up so easy.

Much less time than the "decomposing" factor...

They tout themselves as being free of all the dangerous stuff. I did a quick google and they are supposed to be safe. As one site I read said, we have plastic on our food, in the freezer, our cling wrap, we microwave it, etc. I think as long as you don't buy some weird off brand you should be ok.

Accordi...Seems there are concerns about the liners.<br />According to the Food and Drug administration (FDA), a minute amount of chemicals from Crock-Pot liners may migrate to food during the cooking process, especially if exposed to high temperatures for a long period of time. However, the FDA has determined, based on current data, the amount of chemical migration poses no health risk. The FDA sets forth acceptable tolerances for contamination from chemical migration. Recent concerns about the dangers of Bisphenol A (BPA) have prompted the FDA to reconsider its use. Many states like Minnesota have banned products that contain BPA; therefore, according to Good Housekeeping, there is little or no risk of exposure to BPA from plastic Crock-Pot liners. Companies that sell Crock-Pot liners will display the "FDA Approved" seal on the packaging to reassure consumers that the product has been thoroughly tested and approved as safe for use with food preparation.<br /><br />Can read more about this subject here:<br /> https://www.leaf.tv/articles/what-are-the-dangers-of-plastic-crock-pot-liners/Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3552387675026716797.post-51495161055513312962017-07-14T15:01:01.506-05:002017-07-14T15:01:01.506-05:00I don't know about the safety of using these. ...I don't know about the safety of using these. They are nylon, a petroleum product. It has been shown that petroleum product molecules breakdown over time, even faster with heat and are absorbed by the food(especially fats) it surrounds. This is why BPA(used to harden plastic) is a big deal, which by the way has been used since the 1950's. Sixty years on and it is just beginning to be phased out. <br /> It is banned in baby bottles and sippy cups. Plastics and food, especially cooking food, just seem like not a good idea to me.

Lay a heavy terry towel over your lid while your pot is cooking. It holds in the heat/ steam and your food will get done much faster.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13106960827480062745noreply@blogger.com
