When cheesecake is baked in the oven, the top usually cracks unless you bake it in a water bath. In your crockpot, you won't have that problem because the baking environment is so moist. Make sure that your springform pan fits easily in your slow cooker, with a space at least 1/2" all the way around between the pan and the sides of the crockpot.
