On the stovetop, simmered for four hours. My wife and I learned to cook
them that way. I guess that "roast" is a misnomer, the way that we do
them. Boiled roast?
Braised beef.
My grandmother cooked pot roast in a pressure cooker. I prefer using
the oven.
I don't roast much anymore, just standing rib for Christmas, occasional
chicken, pork for York and potatoes. Oh, and turkey for Thanksgiving!
Gotta get a frozen turkey soon! Butterball, preferably around twelve
pounds but probably fourteen. We'll see.
I scored two last weekend. Honeysuckle White, around 15 pounds. I
would have preferred 12 or 13, but those were the smallest ones they
had. They're in the deep freeze. I'll take one out to defrost soon;
the other one will wait until we're ready for more turkey stock.
Then there's Brussels sprouts, bagged dressing croutons, pecans, Karo,
frozen pie crusts, fresh cranberried, I'm losing it!
I love Thanksgiving meals. I hate Thanksgiving prep.
We've pared down our Thanksgiving meal to:
Salad
Turkey
Stuffing, made from fresh, cheap white bread, bulk breakfast sausage,
celery, onions, butter, sage, salt, and pepper. It might be hot
breakfast sausage; if not, my husband might add a few flakes of
chile.
Gravy
There might be cranberry-orange relish, which serves as a dessert
for my husband and as a snack for me later.
