Some meats like, chicken or ground beef, cook just fine in a slow cooker with no extra help. Larger cuts of meat, like roast, may need a little bit of water or stock to create steam. This steam helps cook the meat faster and more evenly, Bonappetit says.

The slow cooker is a great tool to use on days when you have little extra time or when you simply don’t feel like cooking in a hot kitchen. Changing your favorite recipes to the slow cooker is a great way to free up a little extra time in your day.
