Actually I'm using a tagine. I used already-cooked rice, duck, veg and added fresh leek and still-frozen peas (damp). I added oil and duck fat and about 1/2 cup of mushroom stock. The leek had been soaking in water, so that added more liquid.
So, the pot was not dry. Should it have been?
The instructions I found seem to heat up the pot (above halfway) at the finish for about 5 minutes.
