But how much of the universal mushiness of slow cooking vs braising is that they usually have different definitions of done? In a lot of cases, braised dish ingredients are the same as slow cooker recipe ingredients. A braise has a lot of intentional steps to develop flavor, whereas a crock pot recipe normally just says "dump it all in a crock pot". But for the mushiness, I would say it's where a crock pot recipe often says "cook on medium setting for 8/10/12 hours", and a braised recipe says(should say) "cook until done". If you braised for the same amount of time crock pot convenience recipes use, you'd get the same amount of mushiness.
