[quote=Anonymous]It doesn't matter that it's going to be cooked. The issue with crockpots is that the temperature is so low that you are leaving frozen foods at an unsafe temperature for too long. If you put a huge hunk of frozen meat in there, it will take hours for it to come up to room temperature & even longer for it to cook. You wouldn't take a piece of fresh meat out and leave it sitting on your kitchen counter for 4 hours growing bacteria & then cook it. That's what frozen meat does in a crockpot. This isn't an issue with fresh or thawed food because it reaches a safe temperature in the crockpot much faster than frozen food does. Apparently, according to PP, the crockpot manufacturer thinks it's ok, but the FDA does not recommend it. The FDA suggests food always be thawed before putting in a crockpot. http://www.fsis.usda.gov/factsheets/focus_on_slow_cooker_safety/index.asp [/quote]
