True, pressure cookers are great, but slow cookers don’t use a lot of electricity! On average, an electric stove (3000 watts) uses more than 13x the energy of a slow cooker (220 watts). Because they are so efficient, it’s okay that they are so “slow.”

I’M OVER USING THE SLOW COOKER, WAY TO MUCH ELECTRICITY, BUT WILL TRY THIS IN MY PRESSURE COOKER SOON, NEW ONES COST ABOUT $40.OO WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND COOKS MUCH MUCH FASTER AND SEALS ALL THE FLAVORS IN, I ESPECIALLY LOVE IT BECAUSE I CAN PUT FROZEN MEAT IN AND THE RESULTS ARE TOO DIE FOR

I said it was a silly question – I don’t use a crockpot often, so I am not familiar with the correct protocol.
Anyway – congrats on your latest achievements.

No Erin, I don’t put it in frozen…I thaw it first.

I think it was just listed as pork roast… I think I should have poured more of the juices over the meat as it cooked. I am trying the chicken and dumplings today.
I am sure this is a silly question but do you put it in the crockpot frozen?

Made this for dinner last night and it was FABULOUS!! Everyone in my family enjoyed it–even my picky eater of a sister who stopped by at supper time and sampled a little. I didn’t have a pork roast but I used some pork tenderloin that I had in the freezer that was purchased on sale a little while back and it was super tender and juicy after slow cooking all day. I also had three slices of bacon left in the fridge from a package used in a previous meal this week (the bacon wrapped BBQ chicken with apples–also very tasty) and so I didn’t let them go to waste, I chopped them up and threw them in as well. Delicious! Thanks for all you do and keep those yummy recipes coming!

That’s about the size of mine. You can sear each side of the meat in a frying pan to seal in the natural juices. I usually add 1 cup of water to the crockpot, in addition to the toppings/sauce to help moisten the meat. What cut did you use? Do you remember?

I actually have a question … what size roasts do you usually use? I made one a couple of weeks ago (not this recipe but another one from this site) and mine came out pretty dry. It was 3.5lb and I cooked it for 8 hours on low.
