This one bounced between 3 and 5 stars between tasters. I used a 1.5k (3lb) roast and it was well cooked in 8 hours (I switched to keep warm function then) and by the time we had dinner it was falling apart as being sliced. I only used 3 onions and when making the gravy strained the juices and only returned the mushrooms, gave it a quick blend with the stab blender then added the rest (omitted browning sauce though as I didn't have). If you are a gravy lover you will not be dissapointed as there is heaps. Will make again but omit onions (fo DH - they don't agree with him). A keeper thank you WI Cheesehead.
