Hi,
I bought a Farberware 6 qt oval slow cooker. I put in a 3.5 lb chuck
roast and added the prescribed liquid,et al. Instructions in the
recipe stated (7) hours on HIGH. The meat fell apart and became
shredded beef, fabulous for mexican cooking, tacos, enchiladas, etc,
but not good for slicing! Que Paso??

Thanks, Mike

You have cooked the perfect pot roast in a slow cooker :-{ ) If you wish to
slice like a steamboat roast then use the oven and not the slow cooker with
liquid.

I'd go ahead and return the slow cooker if I were you, or at least keep
a good eye on it. This is NOT a slow cooker, even on low. Mine would
scald everything even on the lowest setting so I jumped on the net and
found this to be a common problem with their newer 'stainless'
programmable model.

Shorten the cooking time and use less liquid if you want it for slicing.

DON'T cook it on high heat. It may not even take less than 7 hours on
low heat to thoroughly cook it but the extra time on low heat won't do
any harm. I've been cooking roasts like that for many years in my
crock pot. I brown the roast first in a cast iron skillet. I think it
improves the flavor but it isn't necessary. Also I like to pre-heat
the crock pot for at least 30 minutes before using it.

Or start it on HIGH, then switch to LOW.
