To cook:

- Tip: if pork or beef roasts seem cooked but are tough they need more time cooking.
- Preheat broiler. Line baking sheet with foil. Pull roast apart and spread on foil. Broil meat for 3 minutes. Using tongs, turn meat over and spoon ¼ cup of juices from slow cooker over the meat. Broil another 3-4 minutes or until edges of meat start to crisp up and turn brown. Remove and spoon another ¼ cup of juices over pork.
