Thanks Andy, yes, I've always used a boneless chuck roast. I am jotting down your advice right now on my recipe printout about getting the temp of the roast to 190º F-200º F so there is a breakdown of the fibers. I think that's where I went wrong in the past, because Ina Garten mentions taking...

Bumping this older thread to get some advice on making the perfect pot roast. I've made this Barefoot Contessa recipe a half-dozen times now and it makes a ton of delicious sauce. My problem is inconsistent results with the roast itself: four times, I got exactly what I was looking for, the meat...

BKF dries out my hands terribly too; they get very red and chapped. But I love the results on my All Clad stainless so I keep using it. In the future, I think I may resort to wearing dorky rubber gloves, lol. :doh: Btw, I use BKF after washing my pans with regular dish soap, and only if there...

I have numerous pieces of cookware from the All Clad Stainless and Le Creuset lines, which I love, but I was looking recently to add a few nonstick pans, primarily for eggs and such. At a local independent kitchen store (where they sell numerous high-end cookware lines), the owner recommended...

^Wow thanks everyone for the suggestions and pics. Interesting ideas.

^Thanks for the tip.

Thanks Andy. Like wait 2 mins, 5 mins, 10 mins?

^Thank you so much for your reply. My instincts told me to crank up the heat too. I was just hesitant to do so until I heard the advice of some LC veterans. I feel better already! Nice forum you've got going here, btw. :flowers:

After lusting after Le Creuset for years, I finally treated myself to a 9 1/2 qt. oval dutch oven and was so excited to make my first meal last night, a simple beef stew. Long story short, it didn't go well. I dutifully read all the LC instructions advising the use of only LOW to MEDIUM heat...
