Do you need to put water in the base of the crock pot?
You only need to add water to a crock pot, if the meal or recipe you’re slow cooking requires it. Some meals, like a ham, do not require any liquid to be added. Other recipes, like slow cooker bread or soup, do require water.
How much water do I put in a crock pot?
There’s just one thing I’m not so sure about: How much water do you put in a slow cooker for a roast? Recipes vary, but the amount of liquid in a slow cooker should never cover more than half of the roast. The liquid in a crockpot doesn’t evaporate, and other ingredients like vegetables create even more liquid.
