Alot depends on the size of the roast, and cut, some cooked to fast will be tough and chewy, also when you cut into it and it still has a rosy tone, do not panic, as unlike a dry heat cooking the slower moist cooking will not allow all the juices to escape, my mother the first time she did a pot roast for 5 hours was horrified to see this, she is an old fashioned 3 ingredient cook.
I would say the best time is the 6 hours one you mentioned it will be cooked juicy and not overdone.
Hmm!!!
NO
If your "perfect" is 8hrs - - then without THE experiment (for 6hrs) - ? ? is your choice
I would say NO - - the texture of your meat may not have time to break down - ? ?
As far as your flavor (? ?) what has the seasonings to do with your quality (perfect)
Cooking is an experiment - - usually stuff is tossed in together
? ? ? do you actually have a temperature probe in your 'slow cooker" - was it 180o or 200o ?
My crock pot only has hi and low - - 6hrs on high - meat just fall apart
Unless you accurately record ALL the steps in your cooking - ? - I doubt you can reproduce a fine dish
- - You might check the web for your cooker - - they often have lots of information
Set it on 4 hours. It'll be fine. In fact, you should get yourself a fast cooker (much better than slow cooker). It'll cook stuff extremely fast because it has it's own self-contained nuclear power source. You don't have to plug it in and the food cooks at 800 F.
I don't know where you can buy these. I saw an "As Seen on TV" one of these at a flea market once. It was called... hmm... I forget. It was like, "Radiation Cook" or "Radiating Cooker" or Radiation something. I forget.
it wlll taste the same even if you turn the heat to 4 hours. tenderness of the meat? no, it won't be quite as tender.
It would be just as good. Just be careful with slow cookers that have a high and low temperature. A high temperature can burn things if left on all dlay.
Start earlier.
