Hi.
The model I have has several different settings. One for browning, one
for fast boiling, high and low slow cooker etc. The advantage is that I
can brown ingredients if I need to, then slow cook or simmer in the same
pan afterwards.
Cheers
Andrew

Andrew,
Can you please explain a little bit how how the multi purpose cooker works,
and why you like it so much? Thanks so much

Not sure as I live in New Zealand.
However, they have various settings for browning, slow cooking etc. My
particular model is a Sunbeam VersaCook. There'll be other models available
though I'm picking.

Hi Charles.
That's where multi-purpose cookers come into their own. You can brown
the meat, and slow cook it in the one device.
Cheers

Doesn't that defeat the purpose of using a crock pot, though? I would
want to cut down on cleanup later, and just cook it using one device. Put
it in the crock pot, set it, and forget it, at least for a while.

Even if the roast is frozen, I like to brown it on all sides in a
skillet first in a little seasoned oil. (very little oil, just so
won't stick.)

I put a frozen roast in my crock pot in the morning on low and at
around 5 it is well done no matter what size. I prefer cooking it
frozen to thawed.

If it is cooked to an internal temperature that is recommended by
the FDA, that should kill bacteria, shouldn't it? I've heard that
a frozen roast can be put into a crock pot and cooked on warm until
partially thawed to prevent the pot from cracking, then on medium
or high until done. If this is not so, I will learn something from the
responses. Thanks.

It's not recommended. Yes, folks have had okay results with it,
but you do take a bit of a health risk if you do so.
Meat has to be above or below a set range of temperature to avoid
growing some pretty ugly bacteria, and cooking a frozen roast with
some mass to it, unless it's sliced thin, leaves the interior of
the roast within that risky window for too long, at least
according to the experts.

Hello,
I'd guess there was much debate about whether frozen meat will
cook properly in a slow cooker. I've always thought meat must
first be thawed. I'm not wanting to start trouble, I just want to
learn something. So, I realize frozen meat needs more time to
cook, but can I cook frozen meat in the crockpot?
thanks,
Nancy

Hello,
I am going to put a 2 kg size frozen beef roast in my crock pot.
I simply need to know how long to cook it on low or high
temperature.
I do not want to open the can of worms of whether frozen or
thawed
for
the beef roast.
Thanks.
Donald :)
