Stock It Easy 7 Crack
Beatrice Pfliger
Your honor, I confess to buying an Instant Pot on Black Friday 2019, only to let it sit in my pantry untouched for 2 whole years fearing the lid might somehow detach itself during the cooking process and shoot like a rocket through the roof of my house, taking my hand with it.
Not only do you get 2 chicken breasts (which I slice in half to make 4 cutlets), 2 tenderloins, 2 wings, 2 thighs, AND 2 drumsticks from a whole chicken, but you can then turn around and use the leftover bones plus a few herbs and veggies to make over 3 quarts of chicken stock in the Instant Pot.
After adding the chicken bones, vegetables, herbs and seasonings into the Instant Pot then filling it with water, there are two ways to make sure the resulting stock comes out with MAX flavor, and a gorgeous golden color.
Let the chicken stock cool for a bit then strain through a fine mesh strainer or chinois into a large bowl with a lip. You can then transfer the strained stock into storage containers and place in the refrigerator. Once the stock has fully chilled, skim any hardened fat off the top. I usually keep a bit because it adds flavor to the stock.
Not only does this chicken stock taste better than the box, but it is also easy to make and lasts in the freezer for up to 3 months. I especially love making chicken stock after making our roasted chicken.
I use this chicken stock to make many of the soup recipes on Inspired Taste, including our highly-rated chicken noodle soup! For a more delicately flavored broth, see my easy chicken broth, or for bone broth, see my recipe for Instant Pot bone broth.
You can use homemade chicken stock in so many delicious recipes. I love it for creamy chicken noodle soup and my favorite vegetable soup. I also use it as a base for sauces and gravy, like in this gravy recipe.
Thanks to the aromatics and fresh herbs, my favorite chicken stock recipe has so much flavor. Add more or less chicken, depending on how rich you want the stock. For a light but flavorful chicken stock, use about 4 pounds of chicken parts. For a rich, ultra-flavorful broth, use about 8 pounds of chicken.
Hi Molly, It sounds like you we over-simmering a bit. Next time, reduce the heat so that the stock is barely simmering. You can also partially cover the pot with its lid towards the end of cooking to prevent some reduction.
So good, so very easy to make! Used recipe as guide. Filled cast iron stock pot with onions, celery, etc. Plus added 3-lbs smoked turkey neck. Strained out amount of liquid needed for Thanksgiving. Everything else made three nice containers of veggie turkey soup for the freezer. Best part, zero salt.

To Store: Refrigerate the stock for use within 3-4 days. (Note that it will take on a gelatin-like texture in the fridge, but will liquidize once warmed again). After refrigerating, skim off any fat that rises to the surface.
Strain broth through fine-mesh strainer, discarding bones, vegetables, and seasonings so you are only left with a clear, smooth broth. Stir in chicken bouillon. Store in refrigerator for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months.

Thank you for getting back with me. You are always so kind and generous. We love your peasant bread! my husband had it for breakfast this am! I am going to make your rolls for thanksgiving ahead of time and freeze them. Will that work? And is it ok to not sprinkle salt on the top of them?
The aroma of the house is amazing thanks to this wonderful recipe and the stock has such wonderful layers of flavor! What do you do with the vegetables after the stock is made? Do you repurpose them for any other dish or discard?
When I have time on a Saturday or Sunday, I pull out all of the extra vegetables that did not make it into a meal the previous week and I will make this vegetable stock. Make sure that everything you use in the stock is still fresh. Wilted old vegetables will not miraculously make a wonderful stock!
The base includes onion, carrots, celery and garlic. From there you can add additional vegetables that you have on hand. I will show you my basic stock recipe then share additional ingredients you can add for variety.
Seafood stock is made from a mixture of water and/or broth infused with seafood shells or bones (carcasses), vegetables, and aromatics. Here, I toast the shells in a pan to bring out their flavors. The shells then simmer in a liquid with vegetables until the stock turns a deep golden-brown color.
Method 1: If you prepare seafood often, you can proactively freeze leftover shellfish shells, crab shells, lobster shells, and fish bones as you cook with them. Simply store the shells in a sealed ziploc bag in the freezer for 1 - 2 months. I will often freeze leftovers when I make my shrimp oreganata.
Method 2: This second option assumes you don't have much prep time. Let's say you're looking to prepare a seafood risotto over the weekend, and you need seafood stock -- or maybe you want to prepare something later tonight.
The easiest way to source crab shells is to purchase pre-cooked crab legs in their shells. Live crabs require some skill to cook and clean, so I highly suggest purchasing the pre-cooked variety unless you're already comfortable cooking them.

Put that chicken carcass to good use and make homemade chicken stock! You just need a little time, chicken bones, carrots, celery, and onion. Before you know it that golden elixir is ready for soups, stews or pan sauces. Learning how to make chicken stock is easier than you think!
When my life was less busy and slightly quieter, I would make chicken stock while my children napped and I wrote my book or developed recipes for magazines and websites.
This was less a desire and more a need to be resourceful and pinch pennies while eating well. Simmering a batch of homemade chicken stock to use in soup recipes has since become a regular habit folded into the fabric of my life, not quite like breathing but more like making my bed or dropping my kids off at school.
Most chicken stock is made from bones and random scraps of vegetables and this recipe follows suit. You can make it in a stock pot on the stove top or in a slow cooker (more on that later).
Basic chicken stock is really just bones and water, but dressing it up with a few herbs and vegetables just increases the flavor and complexity of the stock. When I'm cooking other dishes, I often save the scraps from chopping vegetables and put them in the freezer. When I'm ready to make stock, most of the ingredients are already there.
Learning how to make chicken stock is easy. To make homemade chicken stock, place chicken bones, vegetables, herbs and spices into a large pot. Cover with cold water then simmer for about 3 hours. Let it cool, then skim the fat. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
If you read chefy books or manuals you will also see a reference to salt or no salt being a defining factor in stock vs. broth. This is because technically one is used for soup, and the other is meant to be reduced for pan sauces, but really most home cooks don't care. I skip the salt when making stock or broth and just salt the recipe I'm using it in.

This is a great recipe. I use an uncooked carcass after removing the pieces because a cooked chicken has already rendered much of its flavor and fat. And I leave out the garlic - I'm not making soup. Seasoning is for the dish.
Hi, Joanne! I'm Summer and I work here at The Mediterranean Dish. A 6qt slow cooker is just fine for making broth with only one chicken carcass. Making broth/stock is very forgiving. Use what you have and it will taste great. You don't necessarily need to double all of the ingredients as the carcasses will likely take up quite a bit of space, your stock will just more concentrated and have a stronger chicken flavor. If you want to add more herbs/aromatics you certainly can. Enjoy!
