Reviews

  1. This was great! I browned it first and probably shouldn't have because the outside was dry, but that's on me since I didn't leave it alone like the recipe said.
     
  2. If my roast is slightly over 2 pounds, to I change the cooking time?
     
  3. Really Great recipe for learning cook's. I have been cooking for years so I have old habits so teaching my daughters to cook as been tricky. this was so easy for them to follow and the results have been great each time they have made it.Just a twist you could use that we have found chop 2 stalks celery and 1large onion(we pulse it in the food processor until finely chopped).thenbron veggies in pan and place the roast on veggies.cover with water or stock.we covered it tight for 2 hours then dded the potatoes and carrots cover another1 1/2 hoursfor 350 remove when vggies are tender.this can be don in a slow clooker but i think for learning reasons the old fashion way is the better way to learn

  5. Smells awesome but when done and sitting before the cut do I remove the strings???
