How do you store a bear roast after cooking it in a crockpot until you're ready to eat it?
It was done at 8:30am and I plan to eat it around 6:00pm. It was cooked in beef broth.

If your crock has a warm that you can trust is above 140 F but not so hot to cook it down then you can leave it in the crock. Otherwise you need to get it under 40 F.
A better option would have been to start it at a time so that it finished at 6 PM.
Why not just start it 8:30 AM?
If you are going to cool then remove from the crock pot as that is a lot of heat to put in a refrigerator.
Upon completion of the cooking, let it cool down to room temperature. Remove excess liquids and store separately. Cover the roast in tinfoil and store in the fridge. Consume preferably within two days for animal proteins.(Freeze for max 3 months) Hope this helps :)
