What is Braising?


Answer: Braising is a combination cooking method that starts with a pan searing then followed by a slow cooking in a liquid until the ingredients become tender.  Braising technique can be used on all cuts of meats or vegetables, but is especially with tougher cuts of meat like briskets.  Braising can be performed slowly for hours in a pot or oven to allow for flavors to penetrate.  Braising can also be done in minutes in a pressure cooker (Intsta Pot).
