Stewing

Stewing is a method of slow cooking where food is fully immersed in liquid and gently simmered until incredibly tender. It’s a moist-heat cooking technique that works wonders for tougher cuts of meat and hearty vegetables, transforming them into melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness.

The gentle simmering action allows the flavors of the ingredients to meld and deepen over time, creating rich and satisfying stews. Stewing is typically done on the stovetop over low heat in a covered pot, allowing the food to simmer slowly and absorb the flavors of the cooking liquid. However, stews can also be made in a slow cooker for added convenience, or even in a pressure cooker to speed up the process while still achieving that melt-in-your-mouth tenderness.
