No, you should not put water between the pans in an electric roaster. Adding water can affect cooking time and temperature stability. Instead, use the roaster as designed, with the inner roasting pan sitting directly in the roaster. If you need moisture, place a small amount of water or broth at the bottom of the inner roasting pan, not between the pans.
