We put the roast in a metal roasting pan with lid. Add in potatoes, carrots, seasoning, small amount of water(1 cup), and slice a whole large onion and put on top. Cook in oven at 220 deg til it falls apart(around 8 hours or more if larger roast). Never had one turn out bad. My wife likes to add cream of mushroom soup but I don't like that. The key to it coming out tender is low and slow, it will break down and fall apart guaranteed.
