All I wanted was a nice pot roast. A chunk of beef, an onion, some swede and carrot, a few shallots, wine and beef stock. What could go wrong? But it's not that easy with a ceramic hob. You can't set the gas at a peep.
But Delia said it would be alright in the oven. Three hours at 140 degrees. OK, but the casserole pot was too tall for the top oven, so it had to go in the bottom oven. But the bottom oven is a fan oven. So I went with three and a half hours at 130 degrees.
Jeez, life is a trial. But it turned out OK. Even so, I'll have heartburn all evening ...
