It depends on the recipe and the cut of meat being cooked. Generally, if the meat has enough natural juices, or if the recipe includes other liquids such as broth or wine, you may not need to add water. However, if the meat is lean or you want a more tender result, adding a small amount of water or other liquids can help to create a moist cooking environment and prevent the meat from drying out. It is best to follow the recipe instructions to determine whether or not to add water to a roast in a crock pot.

Canned whole peeled tomatoes are not typically cooked before they are canned, but they may be heated slightly during the canning process.

No, walnuts do not need to be blanched unless a recipe specifically calls for it. Blanching involves briefly boiling the nuts and then removing their outer skin, which can alter their texture and flavor. Walnuts are often used in baking and cooking with their skin intact, as it adds a slightly bitter and nutty flavor to dishes. However, if you prefer a milder taste, you can soak the walnuts in warm water before use to remove some of the bitterness.

It depends on the type of stickers and the material of the water bottle. Some stickers may come off easily, while others may be difficult to remove and leave behind adhesive residue. Additionally, some water bottles may have a surface that is not compatible with stickers and may cause them to peel or not stick at all. It is best to test a small area before applying stickers to a water bottle and to use stickers specifically designed for use on water bottles or similar surfaces.

To make good homemade gravy, start with a roux made with equal parts fat (such as butter or pan drippings) and flour. Cook the roux over medium heat until lightly browned, then gradually whisk in a liquid of your choice, such as chicken or beef broth, milk, or cream. Add seasonings to taste, such as salt, pepper, herbs, or garlic powder. Cook the gravy until it thickens and reaches your desired consistency. If it’s too thick, add more liquid; if it’s too thin, cook it longer or add more roux. Strain the gravy to remove any lumps or bits of flour, if necessary, and serve hot.
