Slow cookers do not provide sufficient heat to compensate for loss of moisture and heat due to frequent removal of the lid, e.g., to add and remove food in perpetual stews, (pot-au-feu, olla podrida). Added ingredients must be given time to cook before the food can be eaten.

Like cassoulet, pot-au-feu, and many other examples of France's regional cuisine, its origin is in a traditional, inexpensive dish, but grand versions (such as Choucroute royale, made with Champagne instead of Riesling), and grand ingredients (such as foie gras and wild game) are mentioned both in traditional sources (e.g. Ali- BabAli-Bab, Gastronomie pratique: Une bible gourmande en 5000 recettes, ) and in recipes from contemporary chefs and restaurants. Choucroute garnie is available throughout France in canned or microwavable ready-to-eat form. A Hungarian version includes stuffed cabbage leaves in addition to the other ingredients.

Bollito and its many regional variations is eaten throughout northern Italy, and is particularly popular in Emilia-Romagna, Piedmont, and Lombardy.

In contrast to the relative disorder of English eighteenth century cookery books such as Eliza Smith's The Compleat Housewife (1727) or Elizabeth Raffald's The Experienced English Housekeeper (1769), Mrs Rundell's text is strictly ordered and neatly subdivided. Where those books consist almost wholly of recipes, Mrs Rundell begins by explaining techniques of economy ("A minute account of the annual income and the times of payment should be kept in writing"Rundell, 1865. Page 4), how to carve, how to stew, how to season, to "Look clean, be careful and nice in work, so that those who have to eat might look on",Rundell, 1865. Page 35 how to choose and use steam-kettles and the bain-marie, the meanings of foreign terms like pot-au-feu ("truly the foundation of all good cookery"Rundell, 1865.

La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange is a French cookbook written by Marie Ébrard under the name E. Saint-Ange and published in 1927 by Larousse. A "classic text of French home cooking", it is a highly detailed work documenting the cuisine bourgeoise of early 20th century France, including technical descriptions of the kitchen equipment of the day.Jacky Durand, "Un sacré goût de vieux", Libération 3 June 2010 full text Before writing La bonne cuisine, the author had written a cooking column in her husband's magazine Le Pot au Feu for twenty years, and much of the content is drawn from that magazine. The book was originally published as Le livre de cuisine de Madame Saint-Ange: recettes et méthodes de la bonne cuisine française; the current title was drawn from a later abridgement, and was retroactively applied to a modest updating of the original work by the publisher in the 1950s.

In French gastronomy, cuisine bourgeoise is the home cooking of affluent city dwellers, as distinguished from elaborate restaurant cooking, haute cuisine, and from the cooking of the regions, the peasantry, and the urban poor. The cuisine bourgeoise has been documented since the 17th century: Nicolas de Bonnefons, Le Jardinier françois (1651) and Les delices de la campagne (1684); François Menon, Cuisinière bourgeoise (1746); and Louis Eustache Audot, Cuisinière de la campagne et de la ville (1818). Starting in the 19th century, a series of cookbooks go beyond simply listing recipes to teaching technique: Jule Gouffé, Livre de cuisine (1867); Félix Urbain Dubois, École des cuisinières (1887).Barbara Ketcham Wheaton, review of Paul Aratow, translator, Marie Ébrard, La bonne cuisine de Madame E. Saint-Ange (English), Gastronomica 6:3:99f (Summer 2006) In the late 19th century, cooking schools such as Le Cordon Bleu and magazines such as La Cuisinière Cordon Bleu and Le Pot-au-Feu, emerged in Paris to teach cooking technique to bourgeois women.

The cuisine of Quebec originates and has evolved from the one in 16th century North of France. It also retains heritage from the cuisine poitevine as many quebecers still make "pâté marmite", "gourgane" and traditional "soupes à base légumineuse". The "chaudrées charentaises" have also been derived into the "quiaudes" of Gaspésie and the "tourtes salées" or "tourtières" are still very popular concoctions Other specialties that originate from ancient France, but whose exact origins are a little murkier, are pot-au-feu, the covered cut meats like the boudin, the tête fromagée, the plorines, diverse dishes brewed in sauces like the Ragoût de pattes de porc or Civet de lapin and a great number of baked good like crêpes, old fashioned doughnuts, croquignoles, pain doré and tartes. As in France, pork always remained a favoured gastronomical choice as well. Though it seems ancient colonials preferred their native cuisine, new pioneers learned from Algonquins and Iroquois certain techniques including l’acériculture (the processes required to harvest maple sap and create derived products), ice fishing and the boucanage du poisson (a process by which fish is smoked to preserve it and give it flavour).
