	What is braising? Braising starts as a searing of a piece of meat surrounded by usually vegetables that gets a little bit of cooking on top of that. They become seared as well and then a little liquid or a lot of liquid, depends on what you're doing. That's the basic. After that, it gets covered and it gets put in the oven and finished that way. That's braising.
