Frozen Meat?

[polygonia]

I have 2 frozen hunks of corned beef in the freezer.
Do I have to thaw it out before putting them in the crock pot?

I never thaw anything.

hmm

Does that mean I have to cook it a bit longer maybe?

Definitely.

I've never thawed anything before putting it in the crockpot.

I've read over and over that you are not supposed to put frozen meat in the crockpot, but honestly, I've been using my crockpot for over 20 years and have put in tons of frozen meats and they've always cooked up fine and none of us have ever had food poisoning or anything bad happen to us.

Wow, that was a long sentence LOL

I would at least partially thaw them so they don't take forever to cook. Beef shouldn't be an issue, but I would rather be safe than sorry with pork and chicken and fully thaw those meats.

I put frozen meats (beef and poultry) in my crockpot all the time without thawing first. I know they say not to, and my survival thus far is just anecdotal, but still.
