Yes, this works perfectly. I did this with queso for a party earlier this
year, and had no problems at all. One of the other advantages about the
bag
is that you can prepare the contents the night before, grab a twist tie
and
a bowl as Jude suggests below, and store it overnight in the fridge. Then
you can just drop the bag into the crock pot the next morning and remove
the
twist tie, smoothing the bag over the edges of the crock, and start
cooking.
This doesn't have any of the risks that prohibit you from preparing the
food
in the crock pot and putting the crock in the fridge.
Also, I have two of the original crock pots without removable crocks.
They're a nightmare to get really clean without the bags and a dream to
use
with them.
