    Use Dijon mustard and spread it over the top of the roast then you can add some fresh herbs like rosemary or thyme. Finish it by liberally pushing salt into the mustard.

    Cook it on low, and check after about seven hours. If the veggies look done, try taking a sample of the roast, and cook another hour if necessary.

    That's not the best method to use: a pressure cooker's steam is just not right for meat like this.

  • Question
    When cooking an eye of round roast, should I start it on high heat for several hours before cooking slowly to enhance flavor, or should I precook the meat before putting it in the slow cooker?

    No, cooking an eye of round roast on high heat for several hours is generally not advised, as it often results in a tough, leathery texture. You can achieve excellent results with methods like searing at high heat followed by low heat, cooking entirely on low heat, or cooking at high heat until done, ensuring proper resting.

    Can I use my oven as a slow cooker?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    No, you cannot. The heat inside of an oven will never slowly cook your food. Slow cookers are also meant to be covered and everything just simmers inside. You can cover something in an oven, but it may not come out the same way as cooking it in a slow cooker.

    It depends on how large the roast is, and how well-done you want the roast to be when you are done.
  • Question
    After cooking an eye of round roast, it became cold while resting in my cooling oven for over two hours, barely reaching 100 degrees. What could I have done wrong, or what might be happening with my oven?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Your oven may not be retaining heat as expected, possibly due to a worn door seal, faulty hinge springs, or compromised insulation in older models. To prevent your roast from getting cold, you can set your oven to a low holding temperature (around 160-180°F) after the initial high-heat cooking. Monitor the internal temperature of the roast and remove it when it reaches 145°F.
