Slow Cooker Question... Foil Or Clingfilm?

[tinkerbell23]

Hello! I use my slow cooker alot.. But planning to use it for a loaf shaped meaty dinner...

Should i wrap it in tinfoil to make the loaf shape and bung it in the slow cooker? I think this would be nicer and juicier thn in a loaf tin in my normal oven.

On a diet so it has got to work and be good! Hehe x

How about putting the loaf tin in the slow cooker? In fact I would only cook meatloaf in an oven, and I wouldn't use cling film.

Yes no problem using foil to keep it in the correct shape.

Elastomers (the stuff that makes it stretchy) in the wrong type of cling film can migrate into food, especially when heated. Foil doesn't have this problem.
