It's coming to the time of Stews/casseroles

[MickyMacgraw]

What exactly is the difference between the two?

[237SJ]

A stew is cooked on the hob and casserole is cooked in the oven?

[MickyMacgraw]

Thanks very much 237sj, I obviously need to start spending more time in the kitchen!

Isn't a casserole a middle class stew?

[237SJ]

Buy a slow cooker Micky, then you can make a combination of the two without having to do very much at all :)

i thought a stew was meat, potato carrot an onion in gravy...an a casserole was kind of a mix of anything really - sausage, chicken, various veg etc...with various sauces too...

i may be wrong though...never cooked either

[ummmm]

I cook my stew on the hob and my casserole in the oven. I hadn't thought about it before so 237 might have a point.
