Miss Purple, “peeps” has not answered your question so I will. Hope that’s ok. Yes, according to halacha the meat has to be cooked before Shabbos. Not totally cooked but more than half cooked and edible (exact amount of “cooked” can vary and this is Hilchos Shabbos we’re talking about, so it doesn’t have to be cooked to a super soft falling off the bone doneness, but it should be cooked.) This does not apply only to the meat; it’s any food you”ll be leaving to cook on the blech. So if you are suddenly inspired to add half a cup of beans or a raw potato to the chulnt on your way to light candles- Don’t!
