The "exploding pyrex" reports were generally associated with extreme and sudden temperature changes. I wouldn't worry about using it in a slow cooker because they do not get extremely hot and they do change temperatures very gradually. An oven is likely to get hotter and experience more rapid temperature changes than a slow cooker and most pyrex is rated as oven-safe.

I use a pot-in-pot technique with my pressure cooker - I think it would work fine with the slow cooker as treehugger described. If you don't like the idea of pyrex, try stainless steel.
