Owner's Manual

Cooking (cont�d)
Braising Guidelines
Less tender cuts such as those from the round, chuck, brisket and shank require moist cooking. A longer cooking time at lower temperatures with moisture helps soften the meat. 1. Brown meat with a small amount of oil in heavy pan. 2. Pour off excessive drippings, season, if desired. 3. Add small amount of liquid (1/2 to 2 cups) and cover tightly. � Simmer gently over low heat on top of the range or in a 325°F oven, until meat is fork tender.
