Cooking Question - Pot Roast Meat?

[posnera]

Dry pot roast probably means you are overcooking it. Strangely enough, you can dry out meat while cooking in liquid!

One thing I picked up from the Alton Brown episode was the idea of searing first, then cooking some onions, adding liquid to deglaze (but not too much) and then wrapping the meat tightly in aluminum foil with the onions and some liquid. The put the whole package into the oven. It is much easaier to control temperature and keep it low with an oven rather than a pan on the stove simmering.
