I am very happy that you did decide to post this "recipe". This roast was moist and tender! I would never have thought to wrap the roast in foil. I think the foil and the 250 degree cook temp are the secrets here. I included some red potatoes and put the wrapped roast on top of them. I worried that they might not cook through at 250 deg., but they were perfect! Would have included carrots but didn't have any. Will try again and include the carrots, too. I have used the Zaar for years and this recipe is the first one to inspire me to actually write a review. Well done!

I bought a 3.5 pound chuck roast on sale for 7 bucks. I needed a pot roast recipe that didn't call for creamy soups or sodium-laden seasoning mixes. One that had no extra carbs no added salt and no added sugar. Not an easy task but lo and behold I found yours!!!! I really didn't think it would be done even after 6 hours baking at 250 degrees. But it was done in 5. The juices leftover were great all by themselves as an 'au jus'. But you could easily make a creamy gravy out of it if you weren't doing the '6-day Body Makeover'! Yep, I saved it to favorites immediately because this is how I will make pot roast forever. I can't thank you enough for posting this !!

I have been married for 40 years and live in wonderful Costa Mesa, CA. We are near enought to the ocean to smell the salt air. I work full time in a family-owned business located a half mile from my home.
We share a community garden plot with SIL. It is a pleasure to pickle the bounty from our garden each summer. Love to cook, play board games, tend the garden and read mystery novels. We spend as much time as we can at the beach. Love the ocean!
We have two sons and a new daughter-in-law. My eldest son is living in Qatar and happily selling and playing on boats. My youngest son is a private chef in Malibu. We are occasionally lucky enough to have him cook for us!
My 87 year old Mother still loves to cook and can. My in-laws have moved near us and it is a continuing joy to have extended family around us.
I have hundreds of cookbooks and love Fine Cooking Magazine. My loyalties are shifting to Zaar. I've have several favorite chefs here.
Elvis, a five year old Desert Tortoise, is our family pet. Although DT's are endangered in the wild they are not endangered in captivity.
No real pet peeves - life is too short and I'm busy smelling the flowers!
