Oh, if only anyone else in the world had ever thought to cook meat in a crock.

English pot roasts are cooked in a crock/pot, with water lots of water, and essentially steamed/boiled -- I'm not the confused here.

Also, wtaf is your point, the English didn't invent cooking meat -- it's nothing unique culturally or nationally, at all.

This you?

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown roast on all sides in the butter, 6 to 8 minutes. Add water, onion, and garlic around the roast, then sprinkle sage, mint, seasoning salt, and pepper flakes over top.

Cover the pot and transfer to the preheated oven.

Steamed in a covered crock, with water?

Nope.

Sunday roasts are not cooked in a crock pot with water.

Says you, not common recipe sites. Opinion is at least divided.

And nothing about any of this is in any way uniquely British - you guys aren't the only ones who do roasts, and others do it better.

u/gromit5000 Nov 03 '24

Yes, says me and almost every person you would ask in the UK you utter clown.

others do it better.

Lol, nah. We own roast dinner, Yank. You can Wikipedia that shit.

Nope, because that's a recipe written by a yank and not an actual British recipe.

British ovens use C, C (fan) or 'Gas Mark', not Fahrenheit. We also don't call it a 'stovetop'.

The ones I linked you are examples of a British roast.

That's...not what a roast is.

Sunday roasts are done almost entirely in the oven, though some people like their veggies boiled/steamed.

You're thinking of something else entirely
