I recently picked up a small, inexpensive crockpot. It's got multiple heat settings and a removable crock; it's not just a dip warmer. The problem is, all the recipes I can find are for much larger crockpots, and I don't have a good enough feel for what's right to be comfortable tweaking them for my 1.5 quart baby crockpot. Are there rules of thumb about liquid proportions? Other things I should know? Right now, I really want things more like "dump X amount of canned soup, Y amount of rice, and a chicken breast, set on low for N hours, eat"; I can get fancy later. WHat I don't know is reasonable values for X, Y, and N, and if that's likely to be an adequate recipe, or if i needs water/milk, or...?

X, Y, and N all must be integers, and must all be relatively prime.

Do I need to explicitly state that the desired outcome of the function is an edible meal + optional leftovers?

They do not necessarily have to be integers. It depends on the units being used. (Unless rice is being counted in grains, in which case it will be a large integer. At that point, the only effective difference between prime and non-prime is strictly a matter of personal obsession.)
