Pot roast can be broiled or braised to brown.
Pot roast is comfort food. Derived in some measure from the New England boiled dinner concept, pot roast features meat that is first browned, then stewed together with vegetables in some liquid element, such as water, broth or wine. The term "pot roast" can refer to the meat itself, as well as to the dish as a whole. Typically, cuts of beef like brisket, top and bottom round and chuck are chosen for pot roast. Broiling the meat is a browning method alternative to braising. Does this Spark an idea?

2. Take the meat out of the refrigerator and allow it to warm to room temperature.
