Do people still do that in the oven?

When I used to make roasts (when I was cooking for more than one) I would put slits all over the roast with a knife and stuff garlic cloves into them. Now I wait until Omaha Steaks offers a free roast with your order. They're already cooked and come with gravy, so all you need to do is heat it up, add a carb and a vegetable, and you've got dinner. The beef roasts are 3½ lbs each and the pork roasts are 2½ lbs each.

yep we still do it from scratch in the oven !! it just came out

@grumpyoldman - that looks great!
My heritage is old school British, and my parents were not in any way wealthy. My mother had to make do with a very low budget. So things like this were regular on our family table.
But it’s the warmth and comfort that food like this brings that shaped me as a professional chef in grown up days.
Sure, I had to learn the “frou-frou” but the food that always flew off the menu was the most satisfying childhood memories

So did me and mine! Think they were standard. No shiny till years later. Never had a shiny one - just went straight to Enameled Cast Iron.

The insides of my new pots and pans look like that!

This is the roasting pan I bought when I moved in here and had abso-friggin'-lutely nothing.

I bought it as part of a collection of kitchen gear at an auction house. The same auction house where I bought all my furniture.

hahaha , that roasting pan is probably as old as i am (68) we have 4 like it, all different sizes , by the way it turned out soooo good !! we will have left overs for at least 2 more meals sometime this week

Pot Roast & Meatloaf....I think they are the reasons my DH asked me to marry him and we are still married, 30+ years later, cuz I still make Pot Roast & Meatloaf.

 

[grumpyoldman]

one of the things we like about it is that if we have been gone all day and come home to tired to cook , pot roast is one of those things that are quick and easy to heat and eat

 

[Jade Emperor]

I’m probably just a freak. I can’t leave my house with anything cooking.

 

[dragnlaw]

I don't have a problem with leaving the house or letting somethin go overnight. I just make sure everything around is secure and leave the rest to fate.

my son has one of those smokers that he can set up and watch the meat temp on his smart phone ......not me ooooh no !!
i'll never be more than 20 or so feet from anything that produces heat while i'm cooking ( i once had a smoker catch fire with 6 slabs of ribs on it , glad i was close by when it happened )

How did your smoker catch fire?

 

[grumpyoldman]

the grease drain clogged and allowed the grease to build up directly over the heat source until it reached the flash point
it melted the door seal and the control valve before i got it under control , but i did save the ribs

My grease drains from the far end away from where the heat source is.

Yours was vertical?

@FrankZ do you mean "at the far end from where the heat source is."??
