I'm cooking a 9.6# chuck roast for our Purim seudah. I'm making it in the oven (325-350 degrees -- what do you think?), with lots of liquid in the pan, tightly covered. I am not browning the meat first.
How long do you think it needs to cook? I've never made such a big one before. Searching on the web has given me anything from 20-45 minutes per pound.
I prefer to cook it a little underdone, then to slice, then put back in pan liquid to finish off cooking.
So, how long would you cook it for?
Thanks.

General rule is 30 minutes per pound,
For slightly underdone, I would probably bake it for 3-1/2 hours.

30 minutes a pound is just over 4-3/4 hours. Do you think 3½ would make it done enough to slice properly?

I'm not one of those that let it simmer or bake to death. Especially when I know I will reheat the slices in liquid before serving.
You can always pierce the roast and see if it's ready after 3-1/2 hours.
But I guess 4 hours (25 minutes per lb.) would be a safer bet.
ETA: I see that Jamie Geller has a recipe for a 10 lb. roast, and her method of cooking is uncovered at 350 for 2 hours - for medium. (Not that I would necessarily bake my roast uncovered. - Just a reference.)
