I've never not browned it, but I'm going to skip for the roast I'm making for tomorrow. I just don't have the energy or desire. It will still taste okay, right?
-
I never have and they've always turned out fine!
-
I've cooked roasts both ways but when I haven't browned it, it has still come out okay! It's nice to have one less pot/pan to wash!
-
@Weagle: I just did a reci pe that called for browning and I skipped it. It came out fine!
-
I always sear first. I just do. I think it helps with flavor.
-
@Mrs. Twine: me too. I also think searing helps with texture, it's so easy for meat to get mushy in crock pots (at least for me).
-
You just inspired me to pull a roast for tomorrow :). I never brown mine and they turn out pretty yummy
-
Nope. That would dirty up another pot!
-
Next question, how long can it stay on the "keep warm" setting and still be safe to eat?
-
@Mrs. Twine: same here!
And I brown and cook in a Dutch oven (which can go from stove top to oven) so no extra dirty pan!
-
@Navy_Mommy; Yep. Mine's cast iron. Love it.
@MrsMate; I'm with ya! I don't like mushy. And I do like pretty food, and seared food looks prettier to me. -
I only do it when I've got the time - I usually throw a roast in in the early morning when I don't have a lot of extra time or energy, so no browning
I cook them with beer, pepperoncinis, and a packet of Lipton French Onion soup mix and they come out great.

Ummm no... anything that I'm making in the slow cooker is so I have few steps & no clean up! lol *lazy*
