I thought you'd use that alibi because it's obvious you confused pot
roast with stock... pay more attention next you watch foodtv.

With pot roast that liquid becomes gravy... an accomplished cook will
push those solids through a sieve or if bountiful will certainly serve
them with the pot roast. And I eat the veggies from stock, I eat the
meat from the stock bones too; cook's treat.

Absolutely not, a properly made pot roast cooks just as long as a
properly made stock. Any vegetable can be cooked with and served with
pot roast, there are NO limitations. I often make a south of the
border pot roast and include short sections of corn on the cob and
platinos. My favorite pot roast becomes beef/'shoom barley soup, in
fact most of my pot roasts become stewps. Everything that goes into
the pot roast pot gets eaten, except the bay leaves.

Steve Pope has never cooked anything, it's so obvious from how he
constantly regurgitates foodtv... he's not alone here.
