or both !!!!!!!!!

Having roast beef tonight so turned oven on - prepared potatoes & other veg.

Son kept asking me to come & play draughts.

Quickly put tray in oven.

Came back to check an hour later - oven is still cold - fan has been going so looks like it broken.

Had to pot roast it now & tea is now delayed!

Penny, prefer it oven roasted but don't suppose you had much choice there, enjoy it anyway.

I've never tried pot roast before - just guessing how long it will take!

*whispers................what's a pot roast?

I know roasting and doing it in the slow cooker..............is pot roasting different?

*waits for answer to what is probably a silly question* lol

boiling it in a saucepan!

Lol Kitty, I only said I preferred it oven roasted cause that's the only way I know how to do it too.

I love both, but have to say that my husband makes the most beautiful pot roast.

Oh I see..............thanks:))

Why do so many questions sound sensible .................until you get the answer? LOL

can't do longer got friends coming round later & should have eaten & got the boys in bed first!

Slightly different Kitty.
And yes... basically... in a pot! ;-0)

PS... brown it off first to seal the juices in.

Ain't life hard love?

I did that whilst I was waiting for kettle to not boil !!!!

No no no
pot roasted is done in a dish in the oven
cooked in a saucepan on top is boiled

Of course Stan.... but it is still a pot in our house....

KITTYYYyyyy.....!
Sorry I should have made it clearer to you.
Stan is right.
We have a big pot with a lid for pot roasting.... and casseroling.

Good luck Kitty.

Oven......pot.......boiled.......sealed.............roasted????

Oh dear...............now I'm really confused!!

So you seal the meat then put it in a s
saucepan and boil it in water??

Think I'd better stick to the roasting and slow cooking! :)))

Should have lit the gas/electric under it Penny.
Please don't confuse our Kitty any more.... she is training for a job in the school kitchens..

in my recipe book it said pot roasted was on a stove!

I wouldn't have minded slow roasting it but I haven't got 4-8 hours now !

Penny................recipe books tell fibs!!

They say everything you cook is edible.............I follow the recipes and not all of them are!!! lol

I pot roast beef inmy slow cooker, seal the joint first in non stick frying pan, pop into slow cooker cover with made up bovril no salt, pepper or anything else and it's lovely I have to remember to turn it on then I can leave it and come on here.

I like you May..................that sounds perfect for my level of skilll:))))))
