Rump Roast

[posy]

I like to have a little fat on the meat, cooks better and has more flavor. I can remember when my grandmother would always buy suet in the grocery store to add to an oven roast. And, that was many years ago when she did that.

I like a chuck roast to do with vegetables in it. But I do buy different cuts of roasts to do, depending what is on sale and what looks good when I shop. I like pork roasts, too, for a change.

I can't use cast iron cookware on my stove top, but to me they make the best roasted meats on top of stove or in the oven. I have some fry pans that are cast iron. I was not told when I bought the stove that cast iron couldn't be used on ceramic top stoves. Would not buy another one knowing what I know now.

Hi Posy,  I have had a ceramic top stove for about 13 or 14 years and the directions said using cast iron or canning wasn't recommended ???? (mine is a GE Profile).  I do both.......There are two things to remember..... don't drag anything across the top, as it could scar it and don't drop anything on it.  I like my cast iron.....I have several skillets and a cast iron dutch oven that is about 100 years old and I use them a lot.   Happy cooking, Doris

Hi Ann, The two recipes that I posted are pot roasts that need long, slow moist cooking.  The other recipes read much the same with different ingredients.  I also cook a standing rib roast that is seasoned and dry baked and served anywhere from rare to med-well depending on who I am serving it to.  It is a much more expensive piece of meat so I usually serve it for Christmas or for a special occasion.  These days all meat is expensive and I am always on the look out for specials and manager's specials. The menu will be what I pull from the freezer or  what I find on sale.  Have a great day.  Doris

Cubbybear's To Die for Crockpot Roast  is our favorite. Good to see it shared.


I know what you mean about meat being expensive. We eat lots of chicken and love looking for new ways to make it.

The stove in my old house was a ceramic top stove.  It is over 25 years old and it saw many a cast iron skillet and dutch oven and a lot of use with heavy canners and it is still working and looking just fine.  It is a Kenmore.

Wilderness..that is good to know...do you use any Le Creuset too?

[wilderness]

Pippin, I have seen some of those pans but don't have any.  I have cuisinart stainless steel and calphalon and non stick.  I have a couple of other non stick but don't remember the make.
