I am going to start cooking my two corned beef briskets tonight in my
new crock pot and I have a question: should I cover the briskets with
water and not use that much? I was thinking that since it would be
slow cooking all night that the steam (heat) would cook them
thoroughly without needing so much water, but I am not sure. That is
where you seasoned cooks come in.

How much water is needed?

Thanks,
Mark
