Cleaning Crockpot Shell

Bar Keeper's Friend works wonders!

Try a baking soda paste ( just mix it with a little water) and let it sit for a while. Then rub it with a lot of warm water. It worked on my SS cook top when something burned really bad on it. It did leave a little shadow of scratches... but I don't really see them now.

Also - I clean my SS w/ baby oil... works like a charm.

No help on how to clean it, BUT in the future, buy Reynolds Crock Pot Liners. They are bags you put in the pot and cook in. They keep your crock pot almost spotless while your meal cooks.

For horrible burnt on spills I use Oven Magic, I think that's what it's called. Its the stuff you spray in the oven to clean the racks and works great on grills. I use it on pots and my flat griddle pan and the metal shells under the stove coils. Also you could try rubbing the spill with a baking soda/water paste and letting it sit for a day, the spray it with vinegar and rince it off after it stops fizzing. That sometimes is the best. :)

Other than the actual crock pot that cooks, I just wipe the outter shell..I have some permanent stains in the core but oh well.....Try Oxiclean with a scrub pad and dont' and gently wipe. or use some comet with a sponge and be gentle as to not scratch it.

Try the Mr. Clean magic sponge - cleans everything! Or the products for smooth top stoves - very non abrasive cleaners There is also a spray I have used on my broiler pan - dawn power dissolver. It has even lifted paint out of our laundry room sink....

if you have tried everything else... i have an idea... i've never used it on anything like a crock pot shell. but on stains and things i have a tough time getting out, i will use "The Works" toilet cleaner. just a little bit on a rag and it usually helps out a ton. but you might want to try everything else before that, because the toilet cleaner is some pretty powerful chemicals.
