In the Ranally city rating system, Chicago is ranked 1-AAA, which is the highest ranking of any Midwest city. Cleveland, Detroit, Minneapolis, and St. Louis are ranked 1-AA. Cincinnati, Columbus, Indianapolis, Kansas City, and Milwaukee are ranked 1-A. For the definition of the Midwest, I use the U.S. Census Bureau's official definition of the region, which is the 12-state region stretching from Ohio on the east to Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota, and North Dakota on the west.
When I took Home Economics back during the Pleistocene era, there was a difference between baking and roasting. Baking was done in the oven, and open ie. a cake or cookies. Roasting always meant the cover was put over top, as in a roast.
It is very simply to cook roast in oven. This is because you can use big pieces of meat is you are using an oven. The constant low temperature maintained in oven breaks down tough meat fibers, making them juicy and tender. The cooking time varies from 60 minutes to 90 minutes depending on the recipe used. How long does it take to cook a roast depends on the method of preparation adopted to prepare it.
