11 Foods You Should Avoid Putting in a Slow Cooker (And What to Use Instead!)

10. Raw Eggs

What goes wrong: Eggs don’t cook evenly in slow, moist heat and can turn rubbery.

Better approach: Prepare eggs separately, or add beaten eggs at the end to hot liquid for dishes like soups.

11. Avocados

What goes wrong: Heat causes avocados to brown and develop a bitter taste.

Better approach: Always add avocado fresh just before serving.
