So how did I get my disgusting crockpot looking so sparkly and shiny? ย All it took was just a little ammonia and time!
Place a cereal bowl inside your cold slow cooker and fill it half way with ammonia. ย Put on the lid ย and walk away. ย Yep, just walk away and let the ammonia do all the hard work for you. ย Let it sit overnight, then remove the bowl and use a scrubbie to easily remove the baked on greasy mess. ย Do not emerge your slow cooker in water or fill it with water. ย Once your are done scrubbing, just use a wet washcloth to wipe out the gunk.
If you have any super stubborn spots, make a little paste of baking soda and hydrogen peroxide and that will get rid of them! ย Now you know my top secret, super easy method of how to clean a crock pot. ย Now, no grab yours and get it done ๐

Adding ammonia to my shopping list! Cross your fingers!
It works like a charm!
I’m concerned about the odor, was it strong?
Hey there Michelle! Ammonia does have an odor but I wouldn’t say it is super strong. And since you leave the lid on the slow cooker, any odor stays inside.
OMG! Thank You!
