Well we were buried in 20" of snow for a week and a half, now its been raining for several days. Makes getting out to the smokers not so enjoyable. Pot roast always sounds good when the weather is like this. But it takes planning and all day unless you have a trick up your sleeve. Enter the Ogallala Cream Can. The principal is low pressure cooking. You can have a nice roast to pulling temp in less than 2 hours.

I found a nice 7 bone roast on sale and grabbed it. Marinated it overnight in a mixture of Paddle Board Porter (local beer from Cascade Lakes Brewery), Worcestershire, garlic, salt, pepper, and a can of Snappy Tom.

After work everything into the Can. Added one onion, 4 stalks of celery and 4 large carrots into the can. Add the meat and all the marinade, top with the taters. Put the lid on then turn the heat on to high. AS soon as you see a steadt stream of steam you lower the temp to low and let the steam do its thing.
 
Nothing goes to waste the Au Jus gets turned into gravy;

Sorry no plated shots. I dished up the boys then I grazed over the gravy pot, dipping meat and taters! That's what guys do when the wife is out with the girls, right?

Wow Case, that is a gorgeous cook. Glad to get a look at the Cream Can Cooker. Nice fall back when outdoor cooking is out of the question. I'm getting a lot of use out of the trivet you gave me from that cooker. Your photos are outstanding as well.

Thanks Cliff! It makes great food without having to try!
 
Nothing better than a hearty, old-fashioned meat and potatoes meal. I've never seen a cream can used like that. Thanks for sharing!
 
That's a great looking meal Case and a great way to do it when being outside isn't fun. Weather here is super nice today 66 and sunny so I've got a DO full of chili on the performer for Thursdays Cardinals game and a pot of split pea soup on the stove top inside for tonight. Best of both worlds today, know it won't last though.

Thank you! My family has been using cream cans for years. When I was a kid my grandmother would do a big seafood boil in a 10+ gallon one for the holidays.

One of these days I need to get the 5 gallon one out and serve a feast up. Only need 50 or so people for that!

Thanks Rich! I'd take a bowl or two of chili or split pea soup!

We hit a heat wave here the last two days. Mid 50's but wet and windy. Thankfully it didn't cool off. If it had we'd be sitting under 6' of snow!

Got ya on the list! Last time I used it I made a mega batch of clam chowder. Another friend who used to be a baker made sour dough bread bowls. We fed 60 people at one of the wood boat gatherings we attend. Was a good event!

Great looking inside cook.
Now i need a creme can cooker, since Godzilla El Nino is coming.
What size creme can would you buy for a stove top similar to yours?

Thank you!

The 2 1/2 gallon version is what I use. I wouldn't go smaller. You can cook for 4 or 15-20 in it.
