What's the best type of meat to use? I usually use flanken but a lot of times it gets dried out....
Ask them for the fatty bony flanken

Yes, I searched before starting a new thread and pretty much the only thing that came up was a lot of posts from cholentfresser! Not exactly what I was looking for..... Was just curious if anyone had some suggestions, my cholent could use some help, it taste ok but i don't like how it comes out, it comes out each thing by itself and doesn't come together like a cholent, each ingredient; beans, barley, meat, potatoes don't seem to mish together, am I doing something wrong?
You probably are cooking it on the wrong setting.
I was recently called upon to troubleshoot a serious sholombayis/low quality cholent issue.
Turned out she was leaving the crock pot on 'warm' instead of 'low'... We made the adjustment for them, and things have been fantastic since!

If you feel that Flanken is dry, try browning it before you  put it in crock pot

We actually keep it on high until shabbos then move to KW. I think it helps it keep the nuances of the taste.

Secret ingredients: thyme, rosemary, a tiny bit of KC masterpiece or Jack Daniels BBq sauce- davka those

We freeze the meat before putting it in right before Shabbos. Less time cooking means less overcooked meat. And of course that means more delicious results.
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

All depends on the pot. Currently, in order for it to come out good we have to put it High from Thur night to Fri morning, low all day Friday and KW for shabbos.
