Should my roast be covered in liquid?

Chef's answer

Should the roast be covered with liquid in the slow cooker? You don't need a lot of liquid to cook a roast in the slow cooker. In fact, I often cook very fatty pork roasts without any liquid at all. However, the liquid adds flavor and keeps a lean roast from getting dry.
