Should meat be submerged in crockpot?

You will have to submerge your meat in liquid if you want it to be extra tender. Leaner meats also need to be submerged in a liquid when prepared in a slow cooker. When cooked dry, they become tough and stringy, which defeats the tenderizing intent of simmering meat in a Crock-Pot.

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.

Can you put frozen meat in a slow cooker?

So, yes … a crock-pot can cook frozen meat. It will work. ... Because slow cookers don't reliably get frozen meat up to a safe temperature (above 140°F) evenly enough or quickly enough. Your meat will likely spend too much time hovering in the danger zone (from 40°F – 140°F), which opens the door for bacteria to flourish.
