re: Roast in the Crock Pot question

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.
