cooking method

Stewing is a cooking method that involves slow-cooking food in liquid for an extended period of time at low temperatures. This technique allows the ingredients to tenderize and absorb flavors from the broth or sauce. It is particularly used for tougher cuts of meat, as the long cooking time breaks down collagen, resulting in a flavorful and tender dish. Stewing is often used for making soups, casseroles, and various meat dishes, and can also include vegetables and grains.

Synonyms

boiling, braising, cooking, simmering

Examples of usage

  • I am stewing some vegetables for dinner.

Etymology

The term 'stew' originates from the Middle English word 'stewen', which means 'to steam, or to bathe'. This word can be traced back to the Old French 'estuve', which refers to a bath or a heated room. The idea of slowly cooking food in liquid likely developed from ancient cooking methods when food was simmered over an open fire in pots. It has roots in various cultures, from the European tradition of stews made with available meats and vegetables to Asian cuisines that have similar cooking styles. Over the centuries, stewing became a popular method due to its ability to transform humble ingredients into rich, flavorful dishes. Today, stewing remains a beloved technique in kitchens worldwide, celebrated for its comfort and versatility.
