Question:

modular home?

There is a modular home situated on a basement that my realtor is looking at and it is cute from the outside, you can't tell it's a modular, but I was wondering what the disadvantages of modular homes are compared with regualr homes? Thanks.

Answer:

If you had a frying pan it would be better to flour the roast and sear it at high heat to seal in the juices then cook it in the pan on top the stove with a tight cover on the pan and you would be creating a crock pot type of cooking without the crock pot but you would have to check it now and then to make sure the liquid is not getting too lowYou might be able to do it in the over but maybe at a lower temperature so it would get done more slowlyThe danger with chuck is getting it too tough and slow cooking makes it extremely tender.
that is a good way, but I wouldn't have sliced it down the middle and I wouldn't have poked holes in the foil! it steams much better in sealed up foilI also put in a family size tea bag, the tannin in the tea is a natural tenderizerno flavor but gorgeous brown gravy! cook it about 3 to 4 hours.
I wrote a magazine article on this topic recently, after seeing some very impressive modulars at the International Builders' Show last FebruaryHere are a few things to consider: Modular homes are NOT like mobile homes; they're built to local building codes, like site-built homes, not HUD codes like mobile homes; Modular homes need to be stronger than site-built homes as they have to withstand the rigors of travel and crane lifting; Modular homes often come with much longer warranties than local builders offer, making them better than site-built homes in that regardask your realtor about the warranty on the home you're considering; Modular homes are visually indistinguishable from site-built homes next door to them, but may be more energy-efficient and almost certainly saved natural resources in their construction; Many builders are already using modular components to construct their site-built homes, making modular a matter of degreeGood luck w/your home purchaseFor more on this topic, check out a new book called PreFabulous by Sherry KoonesI wrote about it in my article and plan to build modular myself in a few years.
Pretty similar to what I was gonna suggestI was thinking adding a couple TBSP of BBQ sauce, but that's optional.
In a large pot place several teaspoons of cooking oilHeat oil until hotPlace meat in pot and brown on all sidesRemove meat and saute cup of chopped onions, cup chopped of carrots and cup of chopped celeryAdd meat, salt, pepper, rosemary, bay leaf and 1/2 bottle red wineAdd tablespoon of chopped garlicAdd cup of beef stockCover and cook for several hoursTest meat for tendernessAdd cut up potatosWhen potatos are done add peasYou should have a tasty piece of meat with a great sauce and veggies.
