Slow cookers is one thing you don't have to add water to a dish unless it calls for it, because when you cook meat in it, fat cook out of it and adds more liquid to it on its own. It is not such a good idea to overflow a slow cooker or crockpot. And the lid has to be kept on so the liquid won't boil away From a dish that should be cooked for some time. Never fill one more than two-thirds full. If you don't care for this type of cooking, you don't have to. But, I am just saying, for some things I like it because you don't have to watch it closely, and soups and stews are my favorite things to cook in it, and of course, corned beef, which I have once a year.
