I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to cook a pot roast? I am clueless in the kitchen, but I want to surprise my husband with a nice dinner when he gets home from work.
Then cook it at 350! Good luck, I hope it turns out well so dh thinks you're a simply amazing cook.Originally Posted by IloveSiamese
Sheesh...I didn't realize it was so complicated lol...I would have just thrown it in a roaster with some water and beef broth and some veggies for a few hours and called it a day lol....
I have exactly 3.5 hours until the hubby is home from work, so I'm still going to give this a shot.
Wooo I just seen this and well this seems much more realistic for my capabilities lol.Originally Posted by Natalie_ca
If I'm not using my slow cooker, then I use a roasting pan.
I heat the oven to 500 degrees.
Place to roast into a roasting pan. Add chunks of onions, carrots and celery around the sides of the roast. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add about 1/2 cup of water to the pan. Cover tightly.
Place in oven. Cook at 500 degrees for 15 minutes then turn heat down to 325 degrees.
Here is a link that gives you some good information about cooking times:
