Does roast or vegetables go on bottom in crockpot?

In the debate on whether the roast should go on top or bottom of the veggies in a crockpot. I have found that it really does not make a lot of difference, but I like to add the veggies on the bottom and place the meat on top so I can season the top of the roast well.

Should you cover your pot roast in liquid?

It is best to leave the meat slightly above the liquid. I like to add the seasonings to the top of the uncovered layer of roast to ensure it soaks up the most flavor. If it is completely submerged, you will likely have a flavorful broth, but your meat will be bland.

What causes a Pot Roast to be tough?

If your meat is tough. It is likely under- cooked. The best part of cooking in a crock pot is that you can get a tender bite every time. Cooking low and slow will ensure your meat is super tender.
