Slow Simmered Comfort Meals

Low heat and time do something high heat cannot: they melt collagen into gelatin, which is why a tough cut turns silky after three hours and dry after one at a hard boil. A simmer that barely breaks the surface is the whole technique. If the pot is bubbling hard, the meat is tightening, not relaxing.These recipes are built around that. They say what the surface should look like rather than only naming a number on a dial, they say when to add vegetables so they are not pulp by the end, and they say when the dish is better made the day before, because a rested braise tastes deeper and the fat is easy to lift off cold.For the beef end of this in detail, see Beef Stew. For the lighter, faster versions, Cozy Soups and Stews, and for oven-baked comfort, Hearty Casseroles.
