stew and casserole

[dave thefish]

whats the difference between the two ??!!

My grandad says stew is done on the hob, and casserole in the oven. My mum says it's casserole if you're posh, and stew if you're not. Neither of them are great cooks so I am not sure who to believe. Hope someone will know for sure though and can tell me who is right!

think casserole is the dish it's cooked in? stew is cooking by simmering?

Casserole
Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia -


In cooking, a casserole (from the French for 'stew pan') is a large, deep pot or dish used both in the oven and as a serving dish. In the mid-twentieth century, the word also came to be used for the food cooked and served in such a dish. These foods usually consist of vegetables and sometimes meat, pasta, or rice cooked slowly in sauce or other liquid, and may be served as a main course or a side dish. Casseroles tend to be thicker than stews and soups, thick enough to be served on a plate and eaten with a fork.

The culinary term en casserole (also from French) means 'served in the vessel used for cooking'.
