How do I braise meat?

Cooking liquids for Braising

Almost any liquid can be used to braise. Choose a liquid that will compliment the herbs or seasonings that you will be adding.

Chicken, beef or vegetable stock, and fruit or vegetable juices are all suitable. In a pinch, you can use water, but this won't add much flavor so it's not your best choice.

Dairy products such as milk or cream should not be used as they will curdle in the cooking process.
