I'm making beef stew in my giant-o crock pot.. I followed the quantities the recipe says but the liquid does not cover all the ingredients.. should I add more liquid? I have potatoes, carrots, beef, onion, mushrooms...

My crockpot is collecting dust in the cupboard its is going to be 43C today the hottest Nov day on record so I think I may have a mutiny if I get it out lol.  Pat I would add some more liquid add some now and a bit later if it look's like it needs it. 

[Pat]

It's Grilling weather for you girl!!!  it is looking good now.. very thick... but I think it needs some kind of seasoning but not sure what....

How is your stew doing, Pat?  My stew recipe doesn't have much liquid in it at first, but I guess it cooks out of the veggies, because when it is done, it is perfectly saucy.  Good luck with yours. 

[Pat]

it is really looking good.. I did put in 1/2 cup more beef broth than she called for... and now I think it needs some kind of seasoning but I don't know what to add.. it had some red wine vinegar and soy in the broth... parsley.. bayleaf.. salt and pepper

[Pat]

the Beef Stew turned out WONDERFUL!  I will put in a bit more broth next time... wrote a note on the recipe!

On a TV show this week with all sorts of holiday hints/tips, a crock pot was used for heating towels for facials, even uses to soften mens beards. Now that' probably what I would use a crock pot for - NAH! DH makes great pulled pork in the crock pot.

LOL.. those are crazy ideas!
