Crock Pot Receipe Or

I'd like to make a pork roast in crockpot like you make a beef pot roast. Anyone know basic instructions like # of hours @ high or low temperature....

we do this alot. i put the pork roast in the crock pot frozen before i go to bed on low, with a little bit of water. in the morning, we add cream of mushroom soup and onion soup mix and turn it on high for several hours. this is for sunday after noon lunch when we usually cook it. i haven't tinkered with it enough yet since we have gone gluten free-----the gluten-free mushroom soup is not condensed, so my gravy wasn't quite as thick. i think that i need to thicken the mushroom soup with corn starch before adding, or maybe add two cans of soup and no water. this has been one of our favorite sunday meals with mashed potatoes.

I love cooking in the crock pot. Mine has 4 settings, high for 4 or 6 hours, low for 6 or 8 hours. I don't think you can really mess this up, so I usually put it on the longest setting and leave it alone. I usually add a little water or chicken broth to it and carrots, potatoes and onions and let it be. When I can stick a fork in and twist it and the meat falls apart, I feel like it is done. I have realized that the longer you leave it the more tender it is, but I have never had one turn out badly.

I make pork roast occasionally for my family, I can't eat it, but they love it. No matter what meat you put in the crock pot, it makes a huge difference to brown it in oil before putting it in the pot. I sometimes make it with just pepper, caraway seeds and pour a little water mixed with sauerkraut on top and cook on low 8 hours, (this is a 3-4 lb. roast-your cooker may take shorter or longer-check it occasionally) or brown it, season it, add sliced onions, and pour a little beef broth on-leftovers I shred and put with Sweet Baby Rays bbq sauce and make sandwiches with gluten-free bread or buns-(openface works better with some breads I have found.) I do this with beef, but pork would work well. Good luck!!

I agree with Robbin on the browning if you have time...and add in the drippings for extra yumminess
