"Vibrant Winter Cooking With Comforting Casseroles & Sensational Stews."
I've seen a bit of debate on other cooking forums about the difference between a casserole and a stew. A simple explaination is that a casserole is cooked in the oven and a stew is cooked on the stove top.
Most people seem satisfied with the explaination that a stew is a dish that is prepared by stewing - profound I know... Stewing is a method of cooking by which food is barely covered with liquid and simmered slowly for a long period of time in a tightly covered pot.
The result is tender meat and great flavours in a thick soup-like broth from the stewing process.
A casserole refers to the method of cooking and the dish in which it's cooked and served. To make a Casserole is extremely convenient because the ingredients are "en casserole" which is French for "cooked and served in the same dish".
A "casserole dish" (French for "stew pan") usually refers to a deep, round, ovenproof container with handles and a tight-fitting lid. It can be glass, metal, ceramic or any other heatproof material.
