Braising (from the French “braiser”), is a combination cooking method using both moist and dry heat; typically the food is first seared at a high temperature and then finished in a covered pot with a variable amount of liquid, resulting in a particular flavour. Braising of meat is often referred to as ''pot roasting'', though some authors make a distinction between the two methods based on whether or not additional liquid is added.

[edit] About Braising

Braising is a cooking technique that involves browning a food in an oil or fat to caramelize any sugars, then adding more liquid to dissolve the caramelized juices, reducing and repeating. It is often followed by a period of baking or simmering in juices. It greatly enhances the flavors of food and can be used to tenderize meats and vegetables.
