You mentioned thawing the meat if shredding is preferred… if slicing is preferred, do I place meat in crock pot frozen?
Thank you

Yes, you can and I would extend the cooking time. Thank you.

Do you cook it for 10 hours on low? Can you cook it for 5 hours on high?
Vicki says
If I wanted to cook in 8 hours, should I keep on high for the full 8 hours in slow cooker?
