Looking for the best way to make chulent in a crockpot. We usually put it up around noon on friday and have it on low until shabbos lunch. We find that the meat gets pretty dry and the chulent somehow gets more watery the longer it cooks. We actually tasted it on friday night this week and it was much better than on Shabbos day. Any tips? My crockpot does have a keep warm setting, but I am nervous it is not hot enough from a food-safety perspective. Thanks!

Use one big chunk of meat, do not use cubes, and place it on top of the cholent. Do not submerge it. It sounds counterintuitive, but it results in delicious tender meat.

I keep the crock pot on high all Friday and through Shabbos. Meat is always soft and moist, even if not in the liquid. Maybe try a different cut of meat? I only put in enough water to cover all the ingredients. I use brown rice instead of barley. But either way the cholent comes out similarly textured.

Try different meats. Meats with more marbling will stay more tender on low overnight. You may also want to try seeding the meat in a skillet before adding it to the cholent.

I start my cholent cooking Friday morning with beans and spices on low or Medium depending on time. I soak Thursday evening to Friday morning. I turn to keep warm with meat and eggs just before Shabbos. The beans are not completely cooked when I add the meat.
