Did You Know?
The first metal cooking vessels that resemble today's Dutch ovens were used in the Netherlands in the 17th century, hence the name? Our modern versions are similar, simply thick-walled (usually cast iron) cooking pots with tight-fitting lids. They're often used for recipes that require long cooking either on the stovetop or in the oven, or both in the same recipe. Be sure that the pot you use is oven-proof.

Hello! To make pot roast in a slow cooker; salt and pepper the beef and place in slow cooker. Cut the carrots into 2 inch pieces not 1 inch like recipe suggests. Add the remaining ingredients on top of roast and cover. Cook on low heat for 8 to 10 hours or on high heat for 6 to 7 hours, or until meat is tender. The drippings can be thickened if desired by removing roast and vegetables to a platter. In a b owl whisk together 1/4 cup flour and 3/4 cup water. Whisk mixture into pan drippings until smooth, heat for 5 minutes or until thickened. Hope this helps!
