Braising | Stewing Braising and stewing involve the slow cooking of meat in a liquid. This technique tenderizes and softens firm or tough cuts and allows for rich and subtle blending of the meat flavors with those of the liquid and seasonings.

Pot Roasts Cuts from the chuck are among the most popular cuts for pot-roasting (braising). They have plenty of connective tissues that melt when the meat is pot-roasted making it tender and flavorful.

Stewing is a moist heat cooking process much like braising except that the meat is totally immersed in liquid rather than being only partially immersed as it is with braising.

Stewing is a moist heat cooking process much like braising except that the turkey is submerged in liquid rather than being only surrounded by liquid as it is with braising. Another difference is that the turkey used for stewing is usually cut into smaller pieces rather than being left in large pieces.
