Peaches and Dulcinea: Roasting II:Time

Guys who write on reddit or whatever they cooked a roast and it was too dry,
Never thought much about time.
Too Short, it's like, a thick mattress.
Long, it's fall-aparty, there's plenty of juice in the pot, just it's..."dry" for lack of a better word.
Specifically, "mattress" in my slow-cooker is 5 hours, and that counts the time it takes to heat up.
A note: Should slow-cookers be pre-heated (with all appropriate broths and veggies)?

My instructions specifically prohibit preheating an empty cooker;
Most sites say to preheat, and in my case that means having some things inside the cooker.
So a note for next time.

Well anyway, 5 hours was not enough,

10 hours might have been too much, although it also could have been that I didn't fry it first this time, because of the smoke detectors.

Can't /won't

"They're quiet, now"

Insanely pissed off spouses trying to burn down their unhappy home and using steak as an excuse come to mind, and the rest is not important, not really.

Well but if it weren't for tirading people forcing the government to pass laws, there'd be off-switches and timers like they put on home invasion alarms (which they don't install!)

Before you go on your mission from god remember that as soon as these POS alarms start acting up at 4AM people will murder them (and then sear pot roasts happily undisturbed)

Reality being what it is, a non-seared roast should be between 5 and 10 hours;

Future blogs will zero in on a time, and yes I have a thermometer-model but I don't trust it.

Yeah, Biden, pull that magic wand from your butt, speak the charm of making already, end the war (some war, any war)
I personally think "Jim Jordan" is the smoking man behind the screen, the guy pulling all the puppet strings.
Anyway, think "Green Party," think "Ralph Nader" and you'll get why cynical assholes want you to vote independent, vote green, vote non committed.

You prolly understood none of that, but spelling it out looks bombastic.
