Q
“Can I cook a roast without adding water?”
A
Yes – if cooked on LOW. We recommend a small amount because
the gravies are especially tasty. The more fat or “marbling” the
meat has, the less liquid you need. The liquid is needed to properly
soften and cook vegetables.

GUIDE TO ADAPTING RECIPES
This guide is designed to help you adapt recipes to the slow cooker —
your own favorites and prized recipes collected from friends, food
companies, newspapers and magazines. Our aim is to save preparation
time with fewer steps and dishes…and to keep cooking simple. In most
cases, all ingredients can go into your slow cooker in the beginning and
can cook all day. Many preparatory steps are unnecessary when using the
slow cooker. A few hints:
• Allow sufficient cooking time.
• Cook with cover on.
• Do not add as much water as some recipes indicate.
• Remember — liquids don’t “boil away” as in conventional cooking.
Usually you’ll have more liquid at the end of cooking instead of less.
• It’s “one-step” cooking: many steps in recipes may be deleted. Add
ingredients to stoneware at one time and cook 8 to 12 hours (add any
liquid last).
• Vegetables do not overcook as they do when boiled in your oven or
on your range. Therefore, everything can go into the slow cooker at
one time. EXCEPTION: milk, sour cream or cream should be added
during last hour.
