The rule of thumb is that the crock works best when it is 2/3-3/4 of the way full----but that isn't necessarily with liquid, just with stuff.<BR/><BR/>For instance, when I make a roast, I only add usually about 1/2 cup of liquid for a 3-5 lb roast. The meat makes it's own liquid.<BR/><BR/>For the dolmas, the moisture came from the grape leaves----althoughStephanie ODeahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08618710485017373256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-23245586344580566662008-12-17T00:04:00.000-08:002008-12-17T00:04:00.000-08:00I thought you have to fill your crockpot with liqu...I thought you have to fill your crockpot with liquid up to 2/3 full or else stuff won't cook... do you not fill it with this recipe?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-81114441424846969282008-12-13T07:50:00.000-08:002008-12-13T07:50:00.000-08:00This is one of my favorite things to order when I ...This is one of my favorite things to order when I go to Athens on 86th. <BR/>I was just thinking the other day that I should look for a recipe and here you are saving my day!!!HorrorCrafthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06741241924846023399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-1737001003758813272008-12-10T15:18:00.000-08:002008-12-10T15:18:00.000-08:00oh...this sounds WONDERFUL! my mouth is watering. ...oh...this sounds WONDERFUL! my mouth is watering. can't wait to try these!!Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12859852466403739019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5090591139439935093.post-83958914137372290582008-12-10T12:46:00.000-08:002008-12-10T12:46:00.000-08:00Thank you!
