Stewing Or Braising Tips

This method uses a little more liquid than baking does.It can be done in a covered container on top of the stove or in the oven.

If you are braising or stewing meat or poultry, begin a day ahead of time and refrigerate the dish overnight. The next day, when the chilled fat has congealed, you can remove it easily before reheating.
Braising is also an excellent way to cook vegetables.
