slow cooker, low and slow for 8 hours. When slicing, make sure to cut against the grain, not with it.

Slow cooker. 4 cups beef broth. 8 hours low. You can also sear it a bit before putting in it with the broth.

I just put mine in the slow cooker salt and pepper it add a little water and cook on low for 6-7 hours. Always tender

I put my roast in crockpot from frozen state on low for 12 hours...I add a packet onion soup mix and about 1 inch water...always mouth watering tender

If you find that it’s always tough. I swear if you put a banana in the pot with the peel don’t overcook it then carefully take out the banana it’ll be super tender and juicy trust me

 

[kikkyw1]

@stevennuwave do you think it needs the banana or the peel

 

[stevennuwave]

@kikkyw1 the whole thing because that way if you just add the banana it’s going to turn to mush just gently take out the banana once it’s done cooking

I put that in frozen. After it starts to cook. I put butter on top.

I made one in a roaster tonight that was 3.5 lbs, was sitting in a red wine gravy and then foiled over it really good to keep the heat in. I also seared it initially. Roasted for 3 hours at 350. Came out tender and tasty..I put veggies with it halfway through.

Definitely sear it first to lock in moisture. And I think a chuck roast is the best cut for a pot roast.

Oven bag hands down

Pressure cooker!!!! OOOOOOORRRRRR - the “Method X” roast by Chef John! I used a cheap cut of meat - eye round and it came out delish! Lol. I was even happier when I did another eye round (chuck is good too) in the pressure cooker. Look up Instantpot recipes for best times and suggestions. I plan on getting another eye round or bottom round soon just to use my pressure cooker. Thinly slice the roast the next day for roast beef sandwiches.
