Every family loves to cook, but some people are afraid to. If you’re new to cooking, it might be intimidating to cook a large meal, but it’s actually pretty easy. All you need is a pot, a pan, and a knife. I have a large pot roast recipe here that is fast, healthy, and tasty. It takes less than an hour to make, and the whole meal will serve about six people.
Don’t Overfill the Pot Roast
If you are planning to make a 4lb pot roast, be sure to pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (176 degrees Celsius). If you don’t have a meat thermometer, wrap an oven thermometer around the roast at 1/4 of the way around the bottom of the roast to check the internal temperature of the meat. Cook the roast for 30 minutes per pound (2 hours per pound for a 4lb roast), turning the roast over after 20 minutes. You should then allow the roast to rest for 15 minutes before serving.
Preheat the Oven
Cooking time depends on a lot of factors, including the type of roast you are cooking. However, a good rule of thumb is to cook your meat to a temperature of 145 F / 63 C. Cooking a 4lb pot roast to this temperature will ensure that the meat reaches an internal temperature of about 160 F / 70 C. There is no need to preheat the oven until the meat is nearly finished cooking. Preheating the oven will only take time and may cause the roast to burn.
Cook the Pot Roast
The pot roast in this video is cooked for about 6 hours at 350F. I like to cook pot roast to a higher internal temperature, and then I cook it until it falls apart. The internal temperature I use is about 155F. I have found that a meat thermometer is the best tool for this job. An instant-read meat thermometer should be good for this. You can use a digital meat thermometer, but they tend to be a bit more expensive.
Don’t Let the Pot Roast Get Too Cold
You know how to cook a 4lb pot roast, but you don’t want to overcook it. The longer you cook the pot roast, the harder it is to get it back to a temperature that you want, and you don’t want to undercook it. Here are some tips to help you cook a perfect pot roast. Make sure the pot roast is room temperature before you start cooking. This is the only way you can use a thermometer to make sure you don’t overcook it. The best way to get your pot roast to room temperature is to let it rest for at least 15 minutes in the fridge or freezer. This will keep the temperature nice and consistent and not vary wildly. If you cook your pot roast at room temperature, you should cook it for about 2 hours. This will allow you to get a nice and juicy pot roast. But if you cook your pot roast for less time, it will be drier and tougher.
Measure the Pot Roast
Take your 4 lb pot roast out of the fridge, and cut off the excess fat. The idea is to cut off all of the fat. After that, just a couple of quick strokes should be enough to give you a nice, even trim. After you’ve trimmed it, lay the roast out on a cutting board.
