Porcelain stew pots evenly absorb and retain heat to slow cook a variety of foods to perfection. Covering a porcelain stew pot creates a moist environment that prevents foods from drying out during the long, slow cooking process. Heat and steam tenderize the food as it cooks, resulting in meats and vegetables that are fall-apart tender. Electric crock pots and slow cookers are often sold with porcelain stew pot inserts that take advantage of the material's thermal qualities. Serve a delicious slow-cooked meal all in one dish by using a porcelain stew pot.

Brunswick stew is a traditional Southern dish. According to the Brunswick County Virginia website, an African-American chef named "Uncle" Jimmy Matthews invented it during a hunting expedition in 1828 using squirrel, onions and whatever ingredients he had on hand. The flavorful dish caught on and, although somewhat modified over the years, Brunswick stew is still widely popular in Virginia and elsewhere.
This is great for a cold day. Plus, it's a meal in a bowl; you don't really need to make anything else, although some crusty bread would be nice for sopping up the juices. Serves five.
