In each 30-minute episode, Martha demonstrates classic cooking techniques and basics. Using her signature step-by-step, how-to teaching process, she illustrates the building blocks of recipes everyone should know (from roasting to poaching to braising and blanching). Every episode will feature Martha’s tips and tricks, inspiring and educating home cooks everywhere.

"Braising" - Braising is a busy cook’s best friend, and here’s why: with little hands-on time and no special equipment, this “low-and-slow” method produces hearty, consistently flavorful main courses and side dishes that belie their ease.

It’s also a great way to cook lean, inexpensive cuts of meat. Martha shows you which cuts are ideal for braising and the best ways to cook them, sharing recipes for classic pot roast, braised cabbage with apples and pulled pork sandwiches.

Martha uses one of her favorite techniques to prepare dinner. Watch as she braises pork shoulder and pot roast. She also demonstrates a recipe for braised cabbage with caramelized apples, a hearty vegetarian dish. Check your local listings for air times.
