hello everybody here at Mylot.
i was just wondering if it would be a good idea or not if i were to take frozen ribs out of the freezer and without letting them thaw out any, put them directly into the crock pot and put whatever other ingredients in along with the ribs, and i wonder if that the food would still turn out alright by cooking it like that or if it would make the ribs taste tuff or something like that.
so tell me, has anybody around here at Mylot ever not thawed their meat product before that they cooked it in the crock pot?
take care and have a beautiful afternoon.

hi tnwoman...i've read online others that always use frozen meat in a crock pot including frozen ribs and never had a problem. one person said it takes longer to cook. and another said he turned up the heat because it's frozen and he never had any problems. and about being tough one person said it comes out good and the meat is falling off the bone. no one said for how long they cooked their food tho. so it's all up to you. enjoy.

I do that all the time. If I forget to take the meat out of the freezer I will put it in the crock pot on high. I really comes out tender. I wait until the meat is completely thawed out before putting any vegetables or any thing else in with it. Put your seasoning in the crockpot with the meat and forget about it. You will have a good bit of juice or broth cooking meat this way. It comes out so good.

Hi TnWoman! I usually do that whenever I am in a hurry and there has never been a problem. It take only a few minutes to have the frozen meat to boil and when it does, then that is the time for me to lower the heat then put all my ingredients.
Take care and have a nice day!

Hi TnWoman,
Yes, you can do it like that as I sometime just take my chops out and put them straight pot, so don't worry and enjoy your cooking. Love and hugs.

That would be me. I seem to always have a great idea but when it comes down to execution I fail. I forget to take it out of the freezer. So when I want to do it that way 99% of the time it starts frozen. When its done the meat falls off the bones or if no bones it just falls apart. I think it actually turns out better when you cook it from frozen. Just remember to get it up to the proper temp. Every thing is ok as long as its cooked up to the safe temp.
