Oh yeah.....Africans have cooked with it. One time a gentleman said he's taking shea butter capsules that are supposed to help with arthritis. I've not seen him again.....not sure how they did for him!

I also do a simple pot roast, and I work. And I love to cook.

Like Anne, I get a 3ish pound boneless chuck or shoulder roast, rub with garlic, dip in flour, brown on all sides in olive oil (to seal in the juices), then put in a dutch oven (a cast iron pot with a lid) with a whole onion stuck with 3 cloves, 1-2 carrots sliced, 5-6 whole potatoes (I like the Yukon gold), 2 cups of boiling water and a bay leaf and bake at 320 for at least 3-4 hours. Or all day in a crock pot. Cooking long at low heat makes it fork tender. Actually, you could cut it with a spoon. My whole family goes nuts for this meal.

Sounds delicious, DJ! Thanks for sharing.

These kinds of dishes are not only delicious and relatively easy to make, they're healthy too!

And I can't believe the number of times I've had friends try to wrangle a dinner invitation out of me when they hear it is pot roast night! It's a simple dish that always brings raves from anyone I feed it to.

Oh, I do make a nice simple and tasty gravy from the pot juices, but even that isn't too unhealthy!

Update: I went to a butcher today and told him I'm clueless when it comes to purchasing the right roast. So, I now have a 3 1/2 lb brisket in my freezer...it cost $11...is that a good price?

He said to put in in a turkey oven bag on 350* for about 3 1/2 hrs. Says it'll be so tender.

I'll try it next week......yummers!

I'd say that's a good cut for a roast and the price is fine. I haven't tried making a roast in one of those turkey bags, but based on his suggestion, I'm sure it will work great!

Where did you get the idea to do a beef roast in one of those turkey roasting bags? That's a new one for me - but I'm sure it will work.

I remember my mother doing that many years ago....she used to do London Broil in them. The nice thing is, since I have a shrink wrap system in the soap shop, I can get two bags out of one. I can cut/seal it with the I-Bar!

The folks whose house we went for Christmas did their turkey in the bag....talk about GOOD!!!! Moist, tasty etc.

I showed my newly married grandson how to use a cooking bag for his Christmas turkey and it was wonderful. Everyone complimented his cooking and he was thrilled. I use the bags for roasts of all kinds as well!

As far as I'm concerned, one of the biggest benefits of cooking in a bag is that the oven stays a lot cleaner. But while I have cooked turkeys in one of these bags, I have never tried them with any other cut of meat.
