Hello,

New to these Boards, but have been lurking and learning for the past half year or so. There are a lot of brilliant people on CH; hope I can contribute in some way going forward…….

I've read that liquid evaporates during braising. But if braising means the lid is on, and on tight from what I understand, then how can liquid evaporate?

Perhaps I've just misunderstood….

With thanks,

Kim
