Sand the wood prior to applying Polycrylicâ¢. Before the final sanding, moisten the wood with a rag or sponge dipped in water. Allow the wood to dry, then sand off the raised grain with #220 sandpaper. After wiping off the dust, apply Polycrylicâ¢.
Pot roast isn't really a specific recipe or cut of meat, it's more of a method: Take a big cut of tough beef, brown it if you can, then cover and slow cook it with aromatics and liquid (stock, broth, wine, or water) until meltingly tender.
The result is moist, tender and delicious. Labels on beef cuts at the meat counter are often confusing. For example, chuck roast is a common cut for use in pot roast recipes and definitely should be cooked by braising. Boston cut, a specific type of chuck roast, is generally easier to tenderize. The name of a specific cut of beef may vary regionally and with the grocery store or meat market.
