When adapting recipes for the slow cooker, you may need to cut back on the liquid, since it doesn't cook away like it would on the stove or in the oven.
Because of the long cooking times, herbs may lose their flavor. Use whole herbs instead of ground, or add ground herbs and spices near the end of cooking time.
Dairy products tend to curdle over long cooking. Add them at the very end.
