Combination Cooking involves both dry and moist-heat cooking. This type of cooking method requires long, gentle cooking to turn tougher cuts of meat into those fork-tender dishes that we often refer to as “comfort foods”.
A Lotus Rock Braiser is best used for recipes which require meats or vegetables that need to be seared quickly in the open pan and then covered with a lid to cook slowly in their liquid (either in the oven or over the stove). Popular combination cooking techniques used with this pan after searing include braiser, stewing, pot roasting and en cocotte.
