That sounds like another clickbait-style teaser.
Based on the text alone, there’s no way to know what the roommate put in the slow cooker. The headline is designed to make you curious by withholding the key detail.
Also, the sentence “you cannot put anything in the slow cooker” is obviously incomplete or misleading—a slow cooker is meant to have food in it. What these stories usually mean is that you shouldn’t put a particular item in a slow cooker, such as:
- a sealed can
- certain plastics
- non-food items
- frozen food in some situations
- ingredients that can become unsafe if held at low temperatures for too long
The typical structure is:
- Someone uses an appliance incorrectly.
- Something goes wrong (mess, damage, bad smell, ruined food, etc.).
- The story reveals a lesson about proper use.
If you have the rest of the article or post, I can help figure out whether it’s a real safety issue or just a dramatic headline designed to get clicks.
