We usually roast our butternut, acorn, and delicata squash. We like the flavor of winter squash roasted slowly in the oven. The only problem is that word: slow. It takes a while to roast a whole squas...

I had other plans for today's post but circumstances karmically intervened. Lucky for you and me because the resulting desperation led me, as it often does, to something I would have never thought of...
There's really no getting around it. Goat shanks look unmistakably, unavoidably meaty. You just cannot deny you are eating an animal when you pick out a few good shanks for dinner, and that is one of ...
This may be our very favorite meal. It is incredibly hard to screw up, and yet turning a big hunk of pork shoulder into tender shreds of juicy meat still feels like a noteworthy accomplishment every t...

We've made this recipe a couple of times, always to rave reviews. Short ribs aren't on this list of Best Cuts for Braising, but they works fantastically well, cook quickly, and aren't expensive. Here ...
On Friday we introduced Dave Zino of the Beef Checkoff Culinary Center. He explained the difference between stewing and braising. Today he's back to talk about the best cuts of beef for holiday braise...
You know that we love braising, here at The Kitchn. It's one of our favorite ways to cook meat because it's easy, hands-off, and foolproof. It also works well on cheaper cuts of meat. We've noticed th...
I was watching Iron Chef: Battle Oxtail with my partner the other night, and he turned to me and asked, "What's oxtail?" This inspired me to write a post on this delicious but relatively unknown cut ...
So. In the end, how did you cook your turkey? We took no chances on this, our first year of hosting Thanksgiving. We chopped that turkey up and braised it with bacon, sausage, and mushrooms. That's wh...
Escarole appeared in my Mystery Box last week, setting me up for one of my favorite situations: discovering something new to work with in the kitchen. I've heard of escarole and have even eaten it i...

This week a year ago we were deep into our Braising Contest 2007 - a light, breezy contest that garnered far more attention and entries than we expected. Turns out that braising is pretty interesting ...
All the recent talk about slow cookers and crock pot meals got us hungry for some braised, shredded pork shoulder. But when we unwrapped the meat, we found it still had the thick layer of porkback att...
Wow - our All-Clad slow cooker admiration post hit a nerve yesterday. Some of you are quite happy with your $40 slow cookers; others say that yes, a $150 slow cooker is absolutely worth it. The best...
A tight-fitting lid is an essential component when we're cooking long, slow braises that need a consistent temperature and a lot of moisture in order to cook properly. But if you're anything like us...
