    I've a lump of this stuff in the freezer and don't know what to do with it. It's no use as a Sunday roast unless you have metal teeth.
    I was thinking of using it for something like this - Any other ideas ??

    That looks good, and the resulting texture is similar to what you'd get if you did it in a slow cooker.

    Used a Housekeepers Cut instead of a Round Roast.

    ‘‘Twas delicious!! :)

    Used that round roast and while it was very tasty it didn't have the texture of pulled meat. I don't have a slow cooker so I did it in the oven at 150 for 6 hours !!
    It was a huge piece so there's plenty left over for lunch tomorrow.

    Definitely the slow cooker....will turn out ever bit as nice as a more expensive cut, I would always finish mine off in a hot oven just to get a few crispy bits.
