While cooking meat with the slow cooker, it is always better to defrost meat or poultry before putting it into it for cooking. Also, for the best results with cooking meat, cut the meat into chunks or small pieces or otherwise mentioned in the recipe. It is not a good idea to use the slow cooker for large pieces of meat like roast or whole chicken. This is so as the meat will cook so slowly it could remain in the bacterial "Danger Zone," between 40 and 140 °F, too long. Some of the recommended cuts of meat for slow cooker are:

* Shanks
* Shoulder
* Round
* Rump
