Description
Sealed earthenware braising is a low‑temperature, slow‑cooking method that uses a porous clay pot to retain moisture and create a self‑steaming environment.
Technical
The porous walls of the earthenware absorb and re‑release moisture, maintaining an internal temperature around 95 °C that allows collagen to denature into gelatin without drying the meat. Simultaneously, starches in root vegetables gelatinize, thickening the sauce naturally without added emulsifiers.
