Pot Roast Results

Overall, the roast turned out quite well, although not so good that I would rave about it. However, my son liked it and ate an entire serving. If you knew Jake, you'd know that is a rave on his part.

What I didn't care for was my own fault and that of our slow cooker. I wound up overcooking it when I panicked over the progress on low setting. I kept fiddling with the temperature so it was a bit tough, although not at the inedible stage. Also, had I not been lazy, I could have removed the gravy that had formed during cooking and defatted it, then made it into a real gravy that would have been better.

So a satisfying meal if not a great one. Oh, and a bay leaf or two would have been nice.
