The best way to choose a cooking method is to start with the product you want to cook. If it's a protein, you must ask yourself this one question; "is this a tough cut of meat, or a tender cut." Generally speaking, a tough cut of meat will be cooked using a "low and slow" method, which is necessary to break down the chewy connective tissue "collagen." Yet if a tender cut of meat is cooked using a "slow style" method, it will almost always dry out, turning a once tender cut into shoe leather.
