Thread starter kaven-ever Start date Feb 19, Hi, everyone. I'm trying to figure out the difference between simmering and stewing, after watching some videos and articles about them, I think I get the key distinction, from the culinary perspective. Stewing: to mix up the flavours of the ingredients inside a pot, the function of water is to evaporate, mingle so as to create the desired taste.
Simmering: to soften food maybe it has other auxiliary functions, but my culinary experience only take me so far to appreciate this method. So it is indispensable to get water over the food while simmering, whereas it is not while stewing.
Am I right, any comment is helpful. Procol Senior Member Bordeaux. Hi Concerning the second part of your question, simmering used with tension is fine and is tension that could boil over any time, so quite alarming. I've never heard "stewing" used this way, but if it were it would be less alarming with a connotation of stagnation, I feel.
Braising is for cheaper, larger cuts of meat, such as beef cheeks. We grew up on braising and stews. Covering the pan cooks the meat with steam, which speeds the process but produces less flavorful meat and sauce.
Uncovered oven braising also allows the exposed meat to roast and brown. It does mean that you should turn the meat occasionally during cooking to ensure even browning and moist meat. Whole birds and tougher cuts of poultry like the legs and thighs can also benefit from being braised or stewed. Traditionally, only mature poultry were used in a braise as the younger birds lacked the flavor and texture to stand up to long cooking times.
Braises and stews are known as combination cooking methods, because they are started by pan searing in fats, which is a dry heat method, but finished by simmering in liquids. Suitable cuts for cooking in this style include beef, lamb, or pork shoulder, belly cuts including pork bacon, beef brisket, or veal breast. Cooking any longer will dry out the meat. Viewed 4k times.

So if we add water to a pot of meat which has starches in it etc, we increase them temperature and it boils for a bit, does that mean it's boiling or stewing? When we decrease the temperature does that mean it's gone back to a stew?
