The slow cooker version of the recipe will require less liquid since little evaporation will take place in the slow cooker. When you cook food on the top of the stove more water will evaporate from the pot than in your slow cooker, so make sure you use less liquid. Except when you might be cooking a soup, chilli or stew.

No 2 stews are the same, so with experience it is important to determine what you feel works best for your distinct meals and family members tastebuds. And always keep the size of your crock pot in mind. For example, ingredients inside a 4 Quart slow cooker such as the Hamilton Beach 33141 will cook much faster than ingredients in a 6 Quart slow cooker because it is smaller.
