Re: ? about pot roast in the slow cooker...
yeah, the steam re-circulates and keeps it all moist... no need to totally submerge

Re: ? about pot roast in the slow cooker...
i'm making a roast right now in the slow cooker! (something i rarely do, but am doing today bc DH and I saw a seasoned and marinated cabernet roast at trader joes we had to try)
the directions said to put in a skillet with olive oil and brown the outside, and then put in a crock pot with 1/2 cup of water on low for 10-12 hours or on high for 5-6. i put it on low and set it for 11 hours. 3 hours in it smells amazing. i also put a splash of red wine because we had some open in the fridge
there is already more liquid from the meat, dont think you need to cover it

I am actually making this today....its from Cooking light magazine. Sooo good!!!!!
*1 (2-pound) boneless chuck roast, trimmed and cut in half
* 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* 1 cup beef broth
* 1 (.35-ounce) package dried morel mushrooms
* 1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
* 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomato or regular tomato paste
* 2 medium onions (about 3/4 pound), quartered
* 1 (16-ounce) package carrots, cut into 2-inch pieces
* 16 small red potatoes (about 2 pounds), halved
* 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
* 1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
* 3 tablespoons water
Preparation
1. Combine roast, soy sauce, and garlic in a large zip-top plastic bag; seal bag, and marinate in refrigerator at least 8 hours, turning bag occasionally.
2. Bring broth to a boil in a small saucepan; add mushrooms. Remove from heat; cover and let stand 20 minutes. Drain mushrooms through a cheesecloth-lines colander over a bowl, reserving broth mixture.
3. Remove roast from bag, reserving marinade. Sprinkle roast with pepper, gently pressing pepper into roast. Combine reserved marinade, mushroom broth mixture, and tomato paste; stir well, and set aside.
4. Place mushrooms, onion, carrot and potato in a 6-quart electric slow cooker; toss gently.
5. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add roast, browing well on all sides. Place roast over vegetables in slow cooker. Pour tomato paste mixture into pan, scraping to loosen browned bits. Pour tomato paste mixture over roast and vegetables. Cover with lid; cook on high-heat setting 1 hour. Reduce to low-heat setting, and cook 8 hours or until roast is tender. Place roast and vegetables on a serving platter; keep warm. Reserve liquid in slow cooker; increase to high-heat setting.
6. Place flour in a small bowl. Gradually add water, stirring with a whisk until well blended. Add flour mixture to liquid in slow cooker. Cook, uncovered, 15 minutes or until slightly thick, stirring frequently. Serve gravy with roast and vegetables.
ETA: I prepared everything last night....put everything in the crockpot last night and stuck it in the fridge....kept all the liquid separate and just added it this morning before i left.
