Help! Too much water in slow cooker

[RedRobyn2021]

I'm still getting to grips with using my slow cooker this morning I did a chilli con carne, I've come home and I've obviously put too much water in. Does anyone know how I can fix this so that the food isn't wasted?

I saw something on the internet about cornstarch or I could put it on the hob and simmer until some evaporates?

What do you think?

I'd just boil it off.

How soon do you want to eat? If it’s a couple of hours, and if everything is cooked already so you’re just needing to drive it, turn it to high and put the lid so there’s a gap for steam to escape.

If you need it sooner, I’d do it on the hob.

Either put it in a pan on the hob and reduce it, or I find with our slow cooker I can put it on the high setting, and once it's boiling take the lid off and it will reduce. Quicker to do it on the hob though.

If you haven't got time to boil it down, then serve some for today with a slotted spoon and set the rest to cook on hi with the kids propped open as suggested above. Don't waste it!

Boil it off, in future add a quarter max of the amount of liquid you normally add. For a chilli I would add half a can of tomatoes, no water.

Add dried lentils and simmer for half an hour. They'll soak up the excess quicker than you'll boil it off

Thank you everyone

I'd remove the excess liquid & boil that on the hob, not the whole meal.
