Braising

Combination Methods

First browning food in fat, then slow-cooking partially submerged in liquid. Transforms tough cuts into tender, flavorful dishes.

🔬 仕組み

Initial browning creates flavor through Maillard reaction. Long, slow cooking in liquid breaks down collagen into gelatin, tenderizing tough cuts.
