FAQ

How do you keep pork roast from drying out in a crock pot?

To keep a pot roast from drying out, your slow cooker needs liquid to create a moist environment, and that can include meat or vegetable stock, wine or water. This doesn’t mean the meat should be submerged; a cup or two of liquid will be enough, since the cooker is covered and liquids stay trapped inside.

Do you have to brown a pork roast before putting it in the crockpot?

Browning, or caramelizing, meat before putting it into a slow cooker isn’t 100 percent necessary, but it is well worth the effort for the most flavorful and full-bodied end result,” he says. “The caramelized surface of the meat will lend rich flavor and color to the finished dish.”

Does the pork roast need to be covered in liquid in crock pot?

You don’t technically HAVE to add liquid into your slow cooker for pulled pork because the pork will generate moisture. However, we do recommend adding some kind of liquid to the crock pot to make sure things stay nice and moist.

Do you put water in slow cooker with pork?

Place pork in slow cooker. Pour water around pork. Cover; cook on Low heat setting 7 to 8 hours or High heat setting 3 to 4 hours, until extremely tender.
