Can you put raw beef in slow cooker?

Can you put raw beef in slow cooker?

Yes, you most certainly can cook raw meat in the slow cooker! You put it in “cold”, with whatever liquid your recipe calls for, turn it on either “low” or “high” depending on your recipe (I usually start it on “high” for a couple hours, then turn it to “low”), and in 6–7–8 hours, it's now COOKED meat!

What beef can you slow cook?

Cuts of beef used for slow cooking include beef cheek, short rib, feather blade and oxtail. Browning the meat prior to slow cooking caramelises the meat and adds flavour. In addition, marinating the meat prior to slow cooking will help bring out the flavour of the beef even more.

Do you have to put water in a slow cooker?

So no, you need not add any water when cooking with a crockpot, at least when you're cooking something with enough moisture of its own to cook in, which I suspect would be all meats and vegetables, as long as the lid works.
