Yes, it is recommended to put water or another liquid in a crock pot when cooking to help create steam and prevent food from drying out.
Yes.
I asked this question myself and every answer I find on the internet is mistaken. So many morons think you are asking if you put water in with the food and start spouting out recipes. in reality we are asking if you put it under the cooking container like in a steam table there is water underneath all of the pans that hold the food.
Should a pot float when cooking in a crock pot
Chicken Broth
no, if you put it in a crock pot and leave it, it will get very squishy and fall apart. the way i warm it is to put it in a pot on the stove over medium-low heat and stir occasionally until warm.
For a picnic ham in a crock pot, you typically need about 1 to 2 cups of water or broth. This liquid helps to keep the ham moist during cooking and prevents it from drying out. You can adjust the amount based on the size of the ham and your specific recipe, but ensuring some liquid is present is essential for optimal results.
No, it is not safe to put a crock pot in the fridge for storage. The crock pot should be allowed to cool down before being placed in the fridge to prevent bacteria growth and potential food safety issues.
Yes, you can put uncooked rice in a crock pot with chicken, but it's important to ensure there is enough liquid in the pot to properly cook the rice and chicken.
Yes, but not to fry. What do you mean by grease? Are you talking of the kind of grease used in axles? Or the kind on bicycle chains? Then no, you can't. If you mean grease as in "oil" or "fat" then yes you can. Butter, olive oil, canola oil, vegetable oil, margarine, etc will all work fine in a crock pot. But remember, unless you have the special kind of crock pots where the crock can be put on a stove top, the crock pot will not brown any meat or vegetables put into the pot. It will merely cook them slowly over a long period of time. It is best to brown meat or vegetables in a saute pan, then put them in a crock pot. That is where you would want to use the fat or oil. If you just put regular oil into a crock pot, the food will be very greasy if you put in too much. It will not evaporate away as will water or broth.
You can replace the crock pot beef stew by remaking the dish. The Crock Pot website has replacement parts for their crock pots. Go to the site put in the serial number and find the product you need and place an order.

Yes, you can prepare a roast with cut-up vegetables and place it in a crock pot, then store it in the refrigerator overnight. Just make sure to keep the crock pot insert in the fridge to prevent any food safety issues. In the morning, you can start cooking it right away; just be sure to adjust the cooking time if the ingredients are cold. Always ensure the meat reaches a safe internal temperature when cooked.
