FANTASTIC. My round roast was done perfectly and simply shredded apart using only a fork. Nice flavor combination of spices as well. I opted out of using carrots simply bc I didn't have any and put in two large potatoes for DH sunday dinner. I then cooked this on high for 4 1/2 hours. The smell permeating the kitchen was TDF!!!! <br/>Made for PRMR.
