Some raw beans contain natural compounds that must be cooked at high temperatures to be safe. Slow cookers may not get hot enough.
Better option:
Always use canned beans or fully pre-cooked dried beans before adding them to a slow cooker.
11. Delicate Sauces
Sauces like pesto or light cream sauces can break or lose flavor during long cooking times.
Better option:
Stir in delicate sauces at the end of cooking or use them as a finishing touch.
