Hi,
Quick question for which my friend Google is NO help, for once!
I made Karen_in_NH's "London broil" in the crockpot before -- a thick piece of meat, some mushroom soup, some spices, and 7 hours later, you've got yummies.
Okay, too many words already; too much back-story.
Here's the question:
I'm going to make it again this weekend. I just got back from the grocery store and all they had that was reasonably priced was something called "cross rib roast." The butcher explained that it was the same meat that I'd bought last time (the back/shoulder), but this "crosses the rib," hence the big bone that's embedded in it.
I've never put meat that was ON A BONE into the crockpot for hours and hours and hours.
Sigh... Again, too many words.
THE QUESTION: Is it okay to to put bone-in beef in the crockpot? For 7 hours? Will the bone "evaporate"? Or stay intact so that I can just pull it out once it's cooked? AM I GOING TO LIVE???
Sorry. That was five questions. Good thing that I'm not an editor anymore, huh?
The bone won't evaporate but all the collagen and marrow will melt away into the broth. Google the health benefits of bone broth and you'll see that you are doing yourself a favor by using bone in beef

a cross rib roast is known as a shoulder chuck roast in this region
I cook pork with bones in the crockpot pretty often. Some bones are trickier than others, as far as getting all the pieces out. But beef bones should be easy.

This is a whopper of a bone, so I guess it'll be easy. Thanks!
