This is a really good idea! Wonder if my slow cooker liners will work?

Thanks Gay! Colleen

I began using Reynolds oven plastic bags for my cheesecake water baths at least 11 yrs ago! See my

note towards the bottom of this Cognac-Pumpkin Cheesecake that I posted in 2008. ==>

I don't remember where I read about doing this, but it has saved me tons of frustration because on occasion I would have my foil sheets accidentally leak water and ruin my cheesecake crusts which were a real aggravation. No more of that! I've never been brave enough to use ONLY the plastic bag so I've always wrapped 2 sheets of heavy-duty foil on top of the plastic bag, but I don't see why 'plastic only' wouldn't work equally well.

I do plastic only

Good to hear the plastic bag only works! I will be going that route in the future. Thanks!

I use an oven roasting bag (not a crock pot liner). I don't know if it matters
