Best Answer

A small amount of water is good, especially if you are using vegetables - onions, garlic, carrots, leeks and so on. If you for some reason don't want to use any water it would be a good idea to put a rack in the bottom of the pot to sit the roast on. A circular rack, the kind that come with woks, are easily and cheaply available from kitchen stores and are great for all kinds of large-pot cooking. I'd recommend using a rack for all stove-top roasts, stocks and soups, since it stops the ingredients sticking to the base and means you don't need to keep stirring, which is a very bad thing when cooking these types of foods.

How to cook slow cook meals on stove?

If you can slow cook in the oven it would be better, because less moisture will escape. The direct flame underneath your pot on the stove will simmer the food and eventually all the moisture will escape. Adding more water to avoid burning will not enhance the flavour. If you have to cook on the stove then adding more water is unavoidable.

Dinner Ready When You Get Home: Slow Cooker Pot Roast ?

If you want to create a fast and easy meal that is ready when you get home from work, make a slow cooker pot roast. Combine the ingredients in a large bowl and place in the refrigerator the night before. The next morning just pour it in your slow cooker and turn dial to low. Cut up five pounds of roast beef and combine with two cans of cream of mushroom soup, one package of Lipton Soup Mix and one cup of water. Let simmer all day. At the end of the day, your roast beef with gravy will be waiting for you.

To speed up the cooking of the beef in the slow cooker can I turn it onto high?

Yes, but it might not be as tender as cooking it on low for a longer period of time. Just be sure to keep enough water/broth in the slow cooker to make sure your roast doesn't dry out too much.


How do you cook a top round roast in a pressure cooker?

Cooking in a pressure cooker cuts your cooking time down to about a third. In other words, if you would normally cook a roast for 3 hours it's only going to take 1 but keep in mind that were talking really high temperatures here. The pressure at which you cook the meat at will also cause the time to vary, as will as the fact that top round roasts have very little fat content, quite the opposite of a chuck roast. I usually cook a 3 lb top round roast for about an hour. The process is basically the same as what you would normally cook a top round roast at except for a few added steps. Heat up your pressure cooker and add about 2 to 3 tablespoons oil. Cut your roast into four equal parts, salt and pepper each piece and then brown on all sides. Remove meat from cooker and add about 1 cup beef broth along with 3/4 cup Italian salad dressing. If your presser cooker has a lift pan to keep the meat off of the bottom of the pan while cooking, insert it at this time and cover. Cook for about 1 hour. If you would like to include potatoes and carrots with this meal, have your potatoes and carrots cut, seasoned and ready to go once the roast is done cooking. When the roast is done cooking, take the entire cooker (lid still on!) over to the sink and run cold water over it. This will very quickly bring the internal pressure down to normal allowing you to open the cooker and add your vegetables (unless your roast is completely falling apart, leave the roast in the cooker and add vegetables on top, other wise remove the meat and keep covered and warm). Return cooker to the stove top, replace lid and bring the pressure back up. Once the pressure is where you want it cook for an additional 20 minutes.
