Meal parts too well cooked? (3,5)

I believe the answer is:

pot roast

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'meal' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'parts too well cooked?' is the wordplay.
'parts too' can be anagrammed to 'POT ROAST'.
However, I am not clear how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pot roast that I've seen before include "joint preparation" , "Dish of braised meat" , "Meat cooked in a container" , "Slowly cooked meat" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
