It’s now been 24 hours. Here are the results: Husband: has proclaimed this pot roast to be delicious. He has come back for seconds.
Me: I ate a bite of all of it. The meat tastes obviously very bland and is stringy and hard to chew. The potatoes are vile and I couldn’t swallow the bite I took. The carrots were just carrot flavored mush. 0/10 do not recommend.
Additional info: apparently the “24 hr” is how long it takes to cook. This is going to be sitting on ‘warm’ until it’s all gone. I will not be consuming any more of it. It’s only going to get worse.

Did the addition of the carrots bring you around to his method?

It honestly looks far better then I expected… Although the potatoes do look like what you’d get in a Banquet Salisbury Steak dinner…

Oh lawd, well… at least it doesn’t look like it was cooked in bog water 😅

Christ, those potatoes

Way to deliver!

I have to say this – OP, you deserve any and all awards! Not just because you tasted it but because you let all of us share in this joyful time!
Seriously, you’re pretty damn awesome. Thank you for the entertainment.

This potato reminds me playdough. I feel so sorry for OP.

This is almost one of those cases where you pick the entire thing up, crock pot and all, and just throw it off a cliff somewhere. Buy a new crockpot. This one has fought its last battle.

Are you sure you’re married to a human? And what is your plan to make sure he never cooks again? Btw, I applaud your humor and patience. Wish I could give you all the awards for taking us on this journey with you lol!

Where did he get the idea of 24 hours?? And why so much water?
kelsofb
Somehow it doesn’t look as terrible as I expected…
Moggehh
This is horrifying, and I thank you so whole-heartedly for your service in seeing this through.
Did your husband grow up in extreme poverty or neglect? This looks like something my dad would have loved, and he grew up in the great depression. Maybe you should introduce him to B. Dylan Hollis, that guy makes vintage recipes that have little-to-no flavour and that might be right up his alley.

On the bright side, if he thinks this is worthy or seconds, there’s a lot pressure on you to cook meals that are truly tasty
plotthick
On the plus side, if this is what he likes to eat you have reduced your required cooking efforts significantly. Make whatever you want to eat and heave a chunk of meat into water for his weekly calorie ration.
You could spice up his meals with hardtask **gaspy gasp**

Do you worry that this, and not him overstaying his visa, will be the reason he will never be allowed to set foot in America ever again?
8th_Dynasty
is this some cultural preference or is he just really good at being a bad cook?
also, in all honesty, do you think he REALLY likes it or is it a case of pride over taste?

Your husband heard the story of Icarus and the only lesson he took away from it is that Icarus just didn’t use enough wax

Those potatoes look positively revolting, my god

Is he usually this stubborn/can’t admit when he’s horribly, horribly wrong?
Green-Cardiologist27
He made baby food. Just purée it up and store in sports drink bottles. He can take it on the go.
PugGrumbles
Can…. Can he actually taste things? Like, that particular sense of his is fully functioning?
I just honestly can’t understand how he thinks this is any sort of way to appropriately cook. A goddang cow was sacrificed, and roundly disrespected, for this abomination.(I’m more outraged that you spent good money on nonsense, not about the meat being eaten.)
tsout003
Did you witness him eating this. I’m convinced he’s eating pop tarts giggling to himself.

I was so invested in this story.

I’m actually kinda pissed this turned out looking pretty edible. That was the worst looking pot roast most of us had probably ever seen
mungbean23
He basically just made a crappy beef stock. Add some salt and herbs and boil it down some more.

I just can’t get over how awful those potato’s look. Thank you for the laugh and good on you for at least trying a bite of it all lol.

Thank you for coming through, OP. You’ve made a lot of people very ~~nauseous~~ happy today.

Well? How was it
How has the flavor of the meat?
How did the meat come out?
Verdict? Was there flavor?
How did it taste lol
Might be better to just take out all the potatoes and make mashed potatoes with them.
How was everything? On a scale of 1-10
