Not most of the time; some recipes call for "browning off" meats first though. Some tell you to put different items in at different stages.

No- you dont. I have put frozen chicken atop a bed of veggies and a little water and set it to l ow for a few hours and its really tasty. My sister puts her uncooked roast in one with potatoes carrots- whatever she wants- sets it and goes (she works at home right now)

No...you cook from scratch in it.

Some things like meat will taste better if you brown them first but no, your ingredients don't have to be hot to go in. For ideas, here's a great website for crockpot recipes. http://crockpot.cdkitchen.com/
