Roast in the Crock Pot question

I'd leave it go on slow if you have the time. Did you sear the protein and/or let it come up to room temperature before tossing into the crock? If you toss it in right out of the fridge it's gonna take some extra time.

It's really my first time I've ever used a crock pot for a roast. I guess I could have taken it out and let it come to room temp while I cooked breakfast but I didn't have time to sear. Kiddies were driving me nuts to go to the park. Great tips and noted if I ever do it again. Maybe I'm old school but I prefer to do it on the stove top like my maw maw taught my dad, who taught me.

Searing merely adds flavor so it's not necessary. If you toss in a roast at 38 degrees, it's going to take a couple of hours longer in a slow cooker. Probably less desirable results as well.
