I'm a reluctant cook at the best of times but I'm interested to know what I just did.

I got a massive bone for the dog from the butcher. There was quite a lot of meat on it so I thought the dog and I should both have some benefit.

I placed the entire bone (I can't identify what it was anatomically maybe backbone) in my non-stick frying pan with a tiny bit of olive oil. I heated it up to max to brown it and then turned it down to the lowest setting and left it for the whole evening with a Pyrex lid on.

It was thoroughly cooked through and tasted good.

So what did I do? Did I fry it? Roast it? What would you call this?

NOTE: I didn't add anything at all, not even salt or spices. There was a teaspoon of olive oil to lubricate the pan and then I stuck the lid on and left it.

  • I'd say "slow pan roasted stove top" ? :-)

  • Was it all on the stove top? If so I would remove the "pan roasted" bit - this implies the bone was started on the stove top and then moved into the oven to complete.

  • I hope you had a mess of beans to fry up in that greasy pan when you were done.

I'd say "slow pan roasted stove top".

It's not stewed, it's not braised, it's not pan fried, it's not oven roasted.

This would fit with the dictionary definition of slow-cooked.
