Chuck Roast Cooking Time
All ovens vary. My oven may take longer than yours to cook this chuck roast to temperature! Because of this, it’s a good idea to check on your roast before the cooking time is up. I recommend checking on the roast at the 3 hour mark. You may find your roast is cooked through and shreds easily early.
