• No need to cut or stack pieces of meat. The shape is natural for blade or arm pot
roasts, chop or ham steaks.
• If you prefer to select a smaller roast, ranging from 2 to 4 pounds, you can
surround it with plenty of vegetables. Surround pot roast with potatoes and carrots
or cook plenty of cabbage with corned beef.
• Specialty dishes such as stuffed chops or steak rolls, stuffed cabbage leaves, stuffed
peppers, or baked apples can be arranged singled layer so they cook easily and
serve attractively.
Always remember, the size of the meat is just an estimate. The exact weight of a roast
that can be cooked in the oval Crock-Pot
®
slow cooker will depend on the specific cut,
meat configuration and bone structure. Do not overfill the bowl. Meat should be
positioned so that it rests in the stoneware and does not hold the lid up.
