this is my crock pot by the way Amazon.com: Proctor Silex 33040 4-Quart Round Slow Cooker: Kitchen & Housewares

Yakuta, how high is your water level initially? did you sear the beef first?

the cut of the meat is chuck roast, it's what the grocery's butcher recommend what is the correct initial liquid level? covering quarter of the beef's tall? and what should be the correct liquid level when it's done? covering the whole beef? what is the effect of searing the meat first?

my beef crock pot is always dry and coarse but I can still cut it with a fork, so I think it's tender already but very dry.... how can I make it juicy? am I cooking it too long? does the water level matter? in the end the water always cover the whole beef cut and I already set the temperature...
