Pot Roast. Internal Temp.?
Posted on 1/28/14 at 5:46 pm

Cooking a chuck roast in the crockpot. 3.5 lbs . Recipe says to cook for 7 hours on low. What internal temp should I aim for?

'Til it's tender & falls apart. (Sorry, I've never checked the temp and I do crock pot chuck roast all the time.)

So you can't really overcook it?

You CAN overcook it, but you WON'T if you quit when it's fork tender. Make sense?

This - great answer.

I'd go with that and check it out. I use meat thermometers but not with a crock pot. No need in my experience.

Cooked one on low last week for 10 hours while I was at work. It was perfect.

A done pot roast will be in a pull apart state a la pulled pork is when it is done, so temp does not need to be assessed by you in truth.

Just put a frozen one that same size in the crock pot on low for 12 hours. After nine hours it was a little tough. Three hours later it fell apart with a fork. I never use a thermometer.
If it's not frozen, I'd plan on 10 hours. If it's good and tender before you want to eat, just turn the dial to "keep warm."
