One Response for "Braising"
Hi Rachel -
Thanks for the great question! We discussed your question on our ChefsLine at Five Dinner Show today.
The best meats for braising tend to have more muscle and fat - so they stand up to long and slow cooking.
Beef: Choose bottom round or chuck.
All others: look for shoulder or shanks.
Be sure when browning your meats first to give them plenty of room in the pan. Enjoy! Do not hesitate to call the culinary hotline at 1-800-977-1224 for live coaching and advice on how to perfect your braised dish.
