How to clean a burnt slow cooker

Burnt up the bottom of your slow cooker?  Not looking forward to spending hours scrubbing it clean?  Expensive cleaning solutions not getting the food off?

Those of us who have enjoyed the wonders of slow cooking have also on occasion fallen prey to its perils, such as burnt cruddy food when we leave the cooker alone for too long.  The next time you have a burnt cooker, fill it with soap and water and cook the soap-water mix on low for several hours.  The grime disappears right away!

The after shot.  Most of the crud is gone, and it came off really easily. You can still see that this slow-cooker has gotten a lot of loving use!  To remove some stains/yellowing, repeat the process, this time with lemon water.
