Have them, they're working great - but - they popped away on the edges regularly until we used a pair of unused suspenders to fasten the left and right side together. It's a queen mattress.

They're done in no time and he's not stuck there crying the whole time the way I am with a knife. I'm not going to cave and abandon my knives for plastic (the blades are metal), but I can't help but admit it's definitely got some utility to it.

    Be an actual adult. Don't use single use plastics. Wash your dishes. There are some types of crockpots where the cooking pot can be removed from the heating section. The pot can be put in a dishwasher, or soaked in the sink. Be an adult and use one of these types.

    Plus I've heard, but admittedly done zero research on my own since I don't use these things, but I've heard that lots of crockpots will melt these bags or the plastic can leech into foods or the ceramic of the cooker itself. Just all around not a good idea in my opinion. I could be wrong but the single use plastic alone should be enough to not use these.
