Cooking a frozen roast

[Loowit]

I woke up this morning with a terrible headache and congested nose.  I think my kids shared their cold with me.  Anyway, I need to make dinner tonight and I forgot to set the roast down to thaw yesterday, so it is hard as a rock.  How well would it work if I put it in the crockpot frozen and cooked it on low all day?

One of my slow cooker cookbooks has a recipe for panic roast! Pour boiling water over the top, cover, cook on low for 7-8 hours. Let us know how it turns out!

It'll be fine; I do it all the time. Sometimes I leave it on high for a while and then turn it low after a few hours. Hope you get some rest today and feel better soon!

I would cook it on high for the first few hours to get it thawed and beginning to roast, then switch to low.

 

Hope you feel better soon.

That's what I do almost every Sunday - frozen roast, sliced potatoes, onion, baby carrots, a cup or so of beef broth. Crock pot on high for about 4-5 hours, then low (if I remember) until we are ready to eat. Yummy! Tender! Easy!!!

I've done it a lot of times and it comes out good.  I use 2 cups of water, onions, salt and pepper.  Sometimes I also throw in carrots and potatoes.

I would thaw it in a bag water (like you do a turkey) then oven roast it.

Pot roast? No need to thaw. I cook it frozen all the time. It doesn't actually take that much longer, either.

Thanks all. It turned out fine.
