Hi - I am new to this site and would appreciate any help you can give.
I recently purchased and returned a Rival Crock Pot as it seemed to burn everything on low. I have now bought a Hamilton Beach 6 qt with the meat probe (Set and Forget Model).
Not sure what I am doing wrong. I put my potatoes and carrots on the bottom, added a cup of beef broth (it didn't cover the veg fully) and put my roast on top. I put the meat probe in and it cooked until my roast was 145 degrees and then turned to warm. It was so tough you could hardly chew it. Next time I did the exact same but instead put crock on warm and cooked from 10am to 5:00pm - it was overdone and the meat actually shredded instead of cooking.
Any suggestions what I am doing wrong?? I thought that the longer I left the roast in the more tender it would be - is this not right?
I have been using Blade roast and a cross cut roast. I am a little confused as some posts say cover meat with water and others say little water is required.
Thank-you very much for your help.
