slow cooker/lentils

Can anyone give me pointers on the best way to use lentils in a slow cooker please?
I realise slow cookers dont have liquid evaporating but wondered if lentils would soak liquid up?
Am sure you've all guessed from my question, I ain't a Domestic Goddess (yet!)!

A quick way of getting good results with lentils and pulses is to put them into some cold water in a pan and quickly bring them to the boil for two or three minutes. Then take them off the heat, put the lid on and allow them to cool for about an hour.
Typically you'd plan on using 2.5 pints (1.5L) for a pound (454grams) of beans / lentils / pulses in a soup.Hi, I'm a Board Guide on the Old Style and the Consumer Rights boards which means I'm a volunteer to help the boards run smoothly and can move and merge posts there.
