That's what folks always claim whenever they've cooked pot roast to
death, as if they actually intended to make Alpo. Falling apart means
way over done... that's not cooking, that's pressure processing gone
awry. Whenever a pot roast can't be sliced as cleanly as oven
roasted it's over done/ruined. Had that been cooked in a regular pot
it could have been tested with a fork for degree of doneness... and
the veggies wouldn't have been the consistancy of Beechnut.
