Frozzie the roast is cooking now in the slow cooker. i have watched my son baking beef, pork, chicken  and lamb roast for 1 year  (Sunday night roast in his restaurant)
I have all of the right equipment and knowledge

Hope it went well.
I have  been cooking roasts since I was 16, find them easy.

We had roast beef, yorkshire pud, roast potatoes, roast carrots, steamed corn, Green beans, peas & gravy the other night. Yum.

I dont  understand where you are going wrong.

Boil the potatoes for 5 mins before roasting, drain all the fat ff 29 Mins before ready and they will be yummy & crispy.

If you were here i would get you over to cook one.

Why don't you have another go with lamb, Fundj?
You really can't go wrong with it.  If it is still pink, it is moist and juicy, but if you cook it long and slow it just falls off the bone!
Seems like a win/win roast to me.
As for pulling it all together at the last minute - well, I've already owned up to my big secret sin on my blog.
I use Gravox.

I don’t  eat lamb at all, and pork i only like ribs
It very rare that i will cook lamb and when i do its on a bbq, i really can’t handle the smell

Hope it all works out fundj. Sounds like you are on the right track for roast pork although I once read that after you score the rind that you need to dry the roast all over before adding the oil and salt. When I say dry I mean dry. I use paper towel and really get into all the cracks. It has something to do with the fat contracting and then the rind crackles. I usually work on 1/2 hour but go more on looks. If it looks like it is crackling then I turn it down. Don't worry - I have a friend who is a great cook but can't get the crackling on roast pork to save himself. Good luck with the slow cooker.

[fundj&e]

yes you are right about drying it really well forgot to mention 

[fundj&e]

more like a casserole.it was very nice . will stuff same pasta shell with the left over and pies

I have a turbo Cooker that I now use for all our roasts. It cooks them all so well. Pork always has a wonderful crackle on top, Lamb and beef are delicious and cooked to perfection, and the best thing is that the turbo cooker is so easy to clean and the oven stays much cleaner. 

[fundj&e]

i have always wonder about the turbo oven cooker. And no i am not going to buy one 

[Frozzie]

lol...yes no more gadgets!!  roast i find is best in the oven and often i put the vegies in a seperate dish and put whole oignons and garlic around my roast...i have a spicy butterflied lamb that is to die for and is best on bbq but can also be cooked in oven.. I love the crunchy vegies cooked iwth a roast well mainly the potatoes lol!
