Cooking times in Pyrex are about the same, even a little shorter in some cases but you need to lower baking temperature by 25F to avoid overcooking. Can you put a Pyrex dish in a slow cooker? Yes, of course. Pyrex was developed to withstand heat and to be shatter-resistant.

What size slow cooker for most recipes? ›

For a family of three to five or a leftover-obsessed couple, a 5 to 6-quart slow cooker is the perfect size. It will fit almost all recipes, including typical roasts. If you've got a big family and plenty of storage room, go for the big 7 or 8-quart models.

Can you half fill a slow cooker? ›

Don't place the cooker insert in the fridge, or it won't heat up quickly enough to stop bacteria growing. Fill your slow cooker between half and three-quarters full so the food cooks evenly. Use about 1/2-1 cup less liquid than for other cooking methods.

Can you overload a slow cooker? ›

* When cooking meat, the water or stock level should almost cover the meat to ensure effective heat transfer. * Do not overload the crock pot. Half full is the design of most crock pots. * Do not leave cooked food to cool down in the pot.

Can you cook everything in a crockpot? ›

Most people use a slow cooker for meat, poultry and vegetables, although fruits, desserts, stuffing and oatmeal can also be prepared. All ingredients placed in a slow cooker should be thawed. Choose to make foods with high moisture content such as chili, soup, stew or spaghetti sauce.

What happens if you fill a slow cooker too full? ›

Overfilling the slow cooker can lead to uneven cooking.

On the other hand, not adding enough ingredients can also be a problem. "The crock should be at least 2/3 full to avoid dry or burnt food," Audet-White told BI.
