What is Stewing?
Stewing is very similar to braising, except that stewed dishes usually end up with more liquid. In braised dishes, the liquid is often reduced and served on the side as a sauce. The ingredients in stew are often cut into bite-size pieces before they are cooked, or they become that way through cooking. But the main difference between stewing and braising is that in braising, steam plays an important role. But in stewing, everything is completely submerged, so it isn't exposed to steam.
