How to Get a Smell out of a Crock-Pot

Standard Cleaning

• 1

  Allow the Crock-Pot to cool.

• 2

  Place it in the dishwasher or clean the cooking vessel by hand with soapy water.

• 3

  Mix 1 tablespoon of baking soda with water to create a thick paste.

  Place the paste onto any stains left behind during the regular cleaning process.

• 5

  Wipe with distilled vinegar to remove fingerprints or water spots.

• 6

  Wash your slow cooker with soapy water.

Deep Cleaning

  Create a mixture of half water and half distilled vinegar. The amount you make should be enough to fill the Crock-Pot halfway.
