I have cooked tens, if not hundreds of roasts in my crock pot. I almost
always put them in frozen solid (otherwise they cook way too fast). I have
also done whole chickens (not my favourite but many love chicken done this
way), but my fave is beef, pot roast- blade, cheap rump, or silverside,
corned or not corned. Always, always turns out great, and no signs of
anyone getting even a teensy bit sick, ever. I am on a large crock pot list
and this topic comes up very regularly, I have never heard of any bad
outcome from putting frozen roasts straight into the CP, and cooking them
from frozen. Well other than maybe overcooked meat sometimes ;-)
