Time for a vacation Ron. Its really muggy here. It's only 67°F outside, but I have the AC on just to take all the humidity out of the air. Without the AC I'm sticking to everything. Just started to rain.

Steve - a roast beef is cooked (roasted) in an oven.

A pot roast is cooked on top of the stove .... in a pot, with just a small amount of water after searing the roast to the pan. This insures you will have great gravy.

But a corned beef is a " beef brisket" and cooked in water at a slow boil. I only use the thin end brisket ... much better than the thick end brisket. Many people use a thick end brisket for BBQ because its inexpensive ... but it has a ton of fat, which usually melts away when slow cooked for a long time.

My father was a butcher and owned a grocery store/meat market. I worked every Saturday in the store while I was a teen, so I learned a lot of stuff regarding dead cows, chicken, lambs and other animals.

I am a proud member of PETA .... People Eating Tasty Animals
