Many things can affect how quickly a
recipe will cook. The water and fat

meat will not sit and cook in the fat.

not necessary for successful cooking.
Slow cookers have very little evapora-
tion. If making your favorite soup, stew,
or sauce, reduce the liquid or water

there will need to be liquid in the
recipe to prevent scorching on the
sides of the cooking vessel.
