Had to ask Dad about this one - he's the 'expert' in this house regarding
corned beef ;-)

He reckons (for a 6qt slower cooker like yours) just over half a (US) pint
of water should do it (1 to 1-1/2 cups?), if you're gonna leave it on
'Low' overnight.

Be interested to see what all the other slow cooker foodies have to say
about it...
