The instruction manual for my crock pot suggested that you put it in the
crock pot and set the temperature on low until it is thawing, but did not
mention the threat of bacteria. Plus, if cooked to the FDA suggested
internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit, bacteria will be killed.
Using the lowest setting will make sure that the coldness will not crack the
crock. Once the roast has been thawed, you can then raise the temperature
setting.

I have no interest of dying because I'm too lazy or slothful or silly to
defrost the meat overnight in the refrigerator before putting it in the
slow cooker

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
