I was going to suggest the pressure cooker. Without a manual, you can still get some good info online. I've included links below to the two most popular sources for pressure cooker recipes. Also, you could search online for the manual that accompanies your particular cooker. Once you get a general recipe for a pot roast that's about the weight of your cut of meat, you'll know how much liquid is needed and how long to cook it.

It really was gorgeous. So much change going on in the world, but the permanence of the moon in my lifetime gave me great joy! What I hadn't realized in previous experiences, it's just like a solar eclipse, in that, because the moon was covered, I suddenly saw more stars. That was also pretty cool 😊

I swear I posted an amendment to my post, but maybe I didn't hit the submit button. I can't edit my original. Imagine my surprise when I noticed people discussing sloths and I thought we were discussing dolphins! I totally missed the sloth reference in Donna's op and so I was writing about dolphins. I didn't know that about sloths, but do they really go underwater??? eta: so I had to go look it up...here are some facts and myths about sloths! https://slothconservation.org/myths-11-things-you-think-you-know-about-sloths/

It's not even 5:30 and getting dark. :( Tomorrow's goining to be darker! With so many devices getting their time from the internet, I tend to forget time change. It's at 2:00 a.m. this darkness now. I can barely imagine it closer to the poles. I only go those places when it's summery, except a long weekend in Germany near Winter solstice many many years ago. It was full on night at 8am, only 5 hours per day of dim sunlight with the sun itself looking far and small as the moon. I was so happy to get back to the ostensible sun--but it was several days of rain and heavy clouds for photon deprive me. Sorry to be maudlin. Maybe it's time to make cookies...
