My husband decided he wanted to do a pot roast “his way” in the crockpot. He put a whole unseasoned roast with who knows how many potatoes and filled it with water. Put it on high. And says it needs 24 HOURS. It is not seasoned or seared or anything. Just potatoes, water, and meat. What am I going to come home to from work tomorrow?
Edit 1 (post is 1 hr old, pot roast on hour 3): I’ve just received breaking news from my husband. There is one single OXO beef cube in the water. This is an 8L crock pot. Lord have mercy on that one little bullion cube. The pot has a layer of white foam on top.

Well that’s an expensive mistake lol. Unless he likes tasteless watery grub.

I’m interested to know what he thinks it will turn out like

How full of water is it? Roasts produce so much juice, it might overflow.

I’m sorry but I’m laughing way to hard at this….
Enjoy chunky meat meal??

Okay… this is bad but like… no seasoning at all? Not even salt?
You will be going home to mush potatoes and shrunk meat

Grew up with a single father who tried but didn’t know how to cook. Even he never cooked a roast on high for 24 hours. The potatoes are more than likely going to disintegrate. The meat will be overcooked. I imagine it’ll be inedible. Definitely have backup plans.

Is he also planning on serving meat-potato flavored water for dinner? there’s going to be lotsss of left overs.

So excited for the update 💀

Did he think that your cooking had too much flavor? He’ll be wishing that you had made it or advised him after the first bite.

Meat flavored wall paper paste.

I wonder if the potatoes will disintegrate enough to thicken the “gravy”…
ShayMonMe
Oof. Sorry to say but it’s going to be bad. I know that you’re using this as a teachable moment, so I hope that he gets taught to season from this point forward. Maybe teach him to make pot roast next time because despite his protest that this is how he’s always made it it is clear to me he’s never made one before.

is it the great fucking depression in your home?

I hope you have him sit and eat it. This will be a lesson for him. Gotta learn through trial and error.

Oh my lord

please post an update!

I get the feeling that mention of this incident is going to become that “One Liner” that completely shuts him up every time he’s about to do or say something Really Stupid for the next 60 years.

Where I’m the hell did he learn this!?

Hahaha! This puts me in mind of my grandmas stew, potatoes, carrots and boiled sausages. Disgusting and good at the same time as a kid!

You have to applaud his effort, not so sure about the end result though? Honestly, if he didn’t put so much water and at least added some salt and pepper it would prob be half decent!

OP’s post history confirms that her husband is from the UK. Why am I not surprised at the absolute buffoonery.

Maybe he was inspired by [Matty Matheson’s boiled dinner video?](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rlml-vE54KQ)
Drain the water, add broth and seasoning. Restart
