I salted and peppered the roast and browned the chuck roast, then placed
it in the Rival crock pot. I added about 1/2 cup of beef broth <gasp>, minced onion, a couple of cloves of crushed garlic and a couple of bay leaves. I set it on High at about 1PM. By 4PM the kitchen smelled wonderful. I checked for tenderness. Nearly done. Turned the crock pot down to low for another hour. This is not a roast intended to be cooked to varying degrees of doneness and sliced to present. I want it falling apart tender. It's about the only beef (other than stew beef) I want well done. Yes, I'll be having this with mashed potatoes. And gravy, which is thickened with a cornstarch slurry. Steamed baby peas will be the side dish. You? Jill |

We had it on salads with Caesar-ish dressing (lemon juice, Worcestershire, a dash of Tabasco, crushed garlic, olive oil, S&P). Toasted crusty white bread drizzled with olive oil and sprinkled with pretzel salt. Cindy Hamilton |

A 4+ lb top round roast beast is in the oven now, will have a simple salad, baked spuds, and a frozen veggie not decided on yet, thinking green beans. The big decision was oven roast or pot roast... oven roast won because it's far less laborious/time consuming to prep all the ingredients and tend to. Was running short on time today, the new compostor I ordered arrived, same as the other only we decided that we really need two... took a couple hours to assemble... assembled indoors as it's too cold outside, naturally I took measurements to check that it could fit through the front door, it does with 4" to spare. Then lots of packing material to bust up, compact, tape, and dispose of. And whaddaya know, a few hours later and another delivery, my new Honeywell Humidifier, getting tired of dry winter air. Got it filled with bottled water and was running in no time. Within one hour the humidity went from 28% to 40%. More packing material of course. Next trip to BJs I'll stock up on distilled water. It'll use tap water but then I'll need to go through the cleaning process each week. This is a great humidifier, I had a smaller one but it really didn't do much: http://i64.tinypic.com/6roldg.jpg My new 2nd compostor: http://i68.tinypic.com/280nzh4.jpg |

What beans do you plan to use? Presoak them first and you shouldn't have any trouble. I'd let them go overnight. That way, if they aren't soft enough for you in the morning, you still have time to let them cook. -- Avoid cutting yourself when slicing vegetables by getting someone else to hold them. |
