Thanks for sharing this great post! I know this guy who’s allergic to over 200 things. poor guy.
This sounds wonderful! I can never get a pork roast to turn out right…I can’t wait to try this!
P.S. You don’t need any liquid in the pan!? No broth or water? I just want to double check before I turn a 5 lb roast into leather!;)
Becky, you could if it would make you feel more comfortable
It wouldn’t hurt a bit! I sure hope you enjoy it.
Thank you for the recipes! Many of your recipes call for a dutch oven. What is a substitute for this, as I do not have one. Thank you!

Nicole, I also do not have a dutch oven, but what I do is sear the roast in any pan then put the roast in the heaviest lidded pan I have. I also take a little stock and deglaze the pan so I don’t lose the bits of flavor from the searing pan. I am trying this one today infact!!!
