Can you cook a pork joint in a slow cooker? Can you cook it from frozen, how long would it take and do you need to add water?
Cheers

Any joint, once defrosted can be cooked in the slow cooker and ham/pork is one of the best, but as shaneystar2 says, no crackling - what a shame!!
I cook all my meat in the slow cooker too....but it HAS to be defrosted.
Add a glass or two of white wine, some garlic cloves, a light spread of mustard, some fresh thyme, a squeeze of runny honey, a large knob of butter and a tin of sliced peaches.
The peaches (drained) can be placed on top of the pork and during cooking, basted with the butter, wine and honey. They will caramelise and taste gorgeous.
