These cuts are best for slow pot-roasting

METHOD ONE
●  Wrap the meat with foil, adding salt & pepper and maybe a
    clove of garlic

●  Seal tightly and put in a heavy pot

●  Cook in the oven for 2 to 3 hours depending on joint size at
    150˚C, 300˚F or Gas Mark 2

METHOD TWO
●  Prepare a selection (or all!) of the following vegetables:
    onions, carrots, parsnips, leeks, celery and swedes/neeps

●  Place them in large chunks on the bottom of a heavy
    cooking pot

●  Put the meat on top and shuggle it down to bed it beside
    the vegetables

●  Add some salt, herbs, pepper and water/stock/wine to ensure
    that there is enough fluid for a long, slow cook

●  Cover the pan tightly, get it good and hot on the top of the
    oven then place in oven at 140˚C, 275˚F or Gas Mark 1
    for about 3 hours.
