I would guess nay!
By the time the core was unfrozen the outer layers could grow millions of bugs in that nice warm, humid atmosphere at number doubling once every 20 minutes for some. Tomorrow is precious, don't ruin it by fouling up today. |

The more tender the meat, the more heat and shorter time required. Coming from a freezer, lengthens the time in either case. But the rule of thumb remains.

Shape?
Slab better than roll or joint? Latter needs more turning? Tomorrow is precious, don't ruin it by fouling up today. |

That's a good idea. But I already threw the chuck roast in with a couple cans of V8 and some onion and garlic powder and a couple of bay leaves. Gonna cook it on high for 1 hour and then add the onions, carrots, and potatoes and go low for 4-5 hours. We'll see what happens. #sigh |
