If you do try it, please let me know how it turned out.

Absolutely I'll try it, there's no doubt about that. I mean I'll try the salt tenderizer method. I make these eye of round roasts in the oven the flash cook way. Put in 500 degree oven for 7 min/lb and then turn oven off and keep door closed and leave in for 20 min/lb. I just made one Sunday and we're plowing our way through it right now but I just wish it was just a bit tenderer so I'm really excited with your technique. Thanks again, I'll freepmail you how I do.

Can’t argue that. I remember the days when I would not fix a pot roast any way except in the oven -in my cast iron dutch oven.

I do have an honest to goodness bean pot that would sit on top of the old wood cookstove - when I inherited it I used it in the oven. That makes a mean pot of chili.

My punctuation question is similar to your example.
Am I out of line for being offended when Barney Frank asked me, "Hey, you want a handjob?"?
I assume the extra question mark is not required... since it looks as queer as Barney Frank.

Most home fires are caused by electrical shorts and gas leaks not ovens.

IIRC, most house fires are a result of unattended open flames (such as candles). Maybe not...

LOL! No, not really ‘baking’.

I use a crockery bean pot but cook soups and other meals in it like one would a crock pot — only it comes out better because the electric oven surrounds the crock with heat. I usually set the temp at 200 and, depending on the contents of the crock, set the timer for anywhere between 2-1/2 to 3 hours.

To save money on meat, I buy a very large beef brisket (which is fibrous). I cut it up into 1-1/2 inch cubes, brown it in a pan and put it into the large crock. I fill it almost to the top with meat before pouring water in just to cover. Then I cook it slowly, at 200 degrees for about 4 hours. I never cook it to the point of shreds; it works better in soups cooked later if the meat still has integrity.

This becomes the meat I use for stews and beef-based soups. I package the cooked beef in labeled vacuum bags of about 1 lb each. I cook meat like this about four times during fall/winter/spring months.

During warm weather I cook meat, fish, pork, and chicken outdoors over charcoal on our grill/smoker combo. I cook in large batches and freeze a lot for later consumption.

In my garage I have one heavy old stove that is a combination wood and gas-There are advantages to doing things the old way-years ago when my son had the option he preferred heating with wood- the heat was different and more comfortable. Same with cooking- there are pros and cons. And in my world how fast something can be cooked is not necessarily the optimal way.
