Answer 1

If you're going to cook it in the oven, make sure that it's covered so that it retains it's moisture and cook it on a low temperature for a longer time. I prefer to cook roasts in a crockpot, on low all day long so that they're fall apart tender.

Answer 2

put some water in the pan with the roast before you cook it, and cover it with a lid or foil. Also, there are some really neat cooking bags out on the market that give you a more tender roast.
Crock pots on low setting for 8-10 hours also make for a really tender pot roast. You won't need to add much if any water if you do it in a crock pot. Also in a crock pot, put the potatoes and vegetables in first, then the meat.

the secret to a tender piece of meat is to:1.brown on all sides that sears in all the juices.#2. cook in slow cooker for 8-10 hours if you don't have a slow cooker . then use your dutch oven place the browned roast in the center and pour 1 cup of water over it place 2 tea bags on each side cover tightly with lid put it in a 250 degree ferenhite oven for 6-8 hr. keeping an eye on water level never let the pot go dry.

Answer 5

Don't cook it in a pot on the stove! Use the oven instead and cook it at a low heat, 300 deg., with water in a deep pan. Tiightly wrap the top of the pan with alum. foil. This takes 4 - 5 hrs.

Answer 6

Cook it longer and at a lower temperature. Make sure you have enough water to cover the roast. That way you will have lots of wonderful juice to make the gravy.

Answer 7

Yes, prior to putting it in the oven once you season it stick it with a fork and add about 1/4 of cup of vinegar, this will do the work.

Answer 8

If you have one, use a pressure cooker. It makes it absolutely fall-apart tender.
