Context #1 | Verb

cooking method

Braising is a cooking method that involves first browning the food, typically meat, in fat, and then cooking it slowly in a covered pot with a small amount of liquid. This technique allows the meat to become tender and flavorful as it absorbs the seasonings and moisture from the cooking liquid. Braising is often used for tougher cuts of meat, as the slow cooking process helps break down connective tissue. Additionally, vegetables can be braised, enhancing their taste and texture.

Synonyms

simmering, slow-cooking, stewing

Examples of usage

  • I am braising the beef for dinner.
  • The recipe calls for braising the vegetables in wine.
  • After braising, the meat was incredibly tender.
  • She learned how to braise chicken perfectly.
