    I want to use frozen meat in some of my recipes for my slow cooker. How much time extra does that need? Non of the recipes in the new Slow Cooker recipe book mention using any frozen meat. Thanks

    • Hi Donna, The reason we didn’t mention using frozen meat in the new slow cooker book is because we don’t recommended cooking frozen meat in a slow cooker – there’s a risk of harmful bacteria contaminating the meat before it reaches a safe temperature. A slow cooker cooks at a relatively low temperature even on “high. ” It’s best to thaw your meat in the refrigerator before cooking it in a slow cooker.
