What is beef chuck roast used for?

Chuck roasts are very rich and flavorful; brisket and round cuts slice neater but aren't as tender. Roast beef is cooked dry.

Should chuck roast be covered in liquid?

Should the roast be covered with liquid in the slow cooker? You don't need a lot of liquid to cook a roast in the slow cooker. In fact, I often cook very fatty pork roasts without any liquid at all. However, the liquid adds flavor and keeps a lean roast from getting dry.
