[@regiodeurse6513]

Tip for the aromatics. Add fresh herbs only the very last 20-30 minutes. You will lose their flavor if they are heated for longer then that. Dry herbs/spices like bayleaf, pepercorns and cloves, you can add earlier. Their strong taste will mellow out and mix with the flavors from the meat/bones. Add onions from the start. Substances in the onion will convert to glutamine/glutamic acid when heated for prolonged time, giving umami or hearty taste. Which greatly complements the meaty and fatty broth. Hence why synthetic forms of it like MSG are present in store bought broths

[@emmagreen6087]

I'm old as dirt. We always saved bones for soups and beans. People were a lot healthier back in the day. I never knew anybody back then that took regular medications, nobody. And most of the old folks lasted until in their 90s, and were still active. I'm glad people are rediscovering bone broths.

[@micimbr]

Quick tip: always put a teaspoon of any kind of oil at the beginning. Its purpose is not for flavouring the broth: when the small pieces of fats break down and detach from the bones they will eventually become volatile and go away with the steam unless there is another fat inside the broth that they can attach themselves to. The oil will serve exactly for this purpose!

You forgot to "crack your bones" Alot of what we do in kitchens is to take a cleaver and just give your bones a whack that crack will allow for the marrow in them to also be asorbed into the broth as well

[@TheRguru1]

A lot of the butcher bones have already exposed marrow. So for those it isn't necessary.

[@RudraDirtTrails]

I guess cracking would also be reducing the simmering time

[@DavidFromDenmark]

About broth and stock difference: Actually it is a question of langauge. In French cuisine you have three versions: Fond, Bouillion and Glace. If you cook it in a large pot, then the liquid will split in three layers overtime (actually four, with the fat on top that you don't want if you are posh). At the top you have Fond, which is the lightest and used for soups. In the middle you have a heavier substance, Boullion, and in the bottom the very thick glace that is used for heavy sauces. These big fond pots typically have a small tap in the bottom - and first you tab the thick glace (laying at the bottom), then the bouillion and finally the thin fond. These are three different solutions containing different molecyle compositions.

The difference between a stock and a broth is that one is made of bones and one is made of the meat. Stock will reduce down to a gelatin and a broth won’t.

I cleared my history and this video came up again. This video really helped our family. My husband had cancer in 2022 and during that time (of chemo & radiation) about the only thing he really enjoyed was my homemade broth. I watched this video in particular. I made chicken broth, beef broth, & ham broth. Every week I experimented with a different broth. (He is cancer free now) Now, I still make broth. Get a rotisserie chicken? I make a broth. Have ham? I make a broth. I make different spices with each and freeze them. Some chicken I have more of a Asian taste using ginger for ramen. Other chicken has more of an Italian taste using tyme, parsley etc. Ham broth I use for bean and ham soup. Thanks for a great video!

[@careerintransit]

One survivor to the next - huge comment. Wow. Chemo changes our tastes for sure. I wish I would have thought of broth! I was more on the train of tapenade, relish, over medium eggs. Wanted strong flavors, salt. Broth would have fit perfectly! Bless up. Happy for you both!

[@Faffel]

Getting into this stuff to help take care of my mom who has cancer as well. It's a nice way to be able to cook big meaty meals but still be able to use it for her as well.

[@Oktopia]

Thanks to videos like these I've completely lost my fear of failure in the kitchen. I've never been so creative or willing to try new things before. I've always been passionate about food, but now I've added new skills and new flavor profiles to my repertoire. Videos like these give me more inspiration and information. I just love the straightforward, no-bull approach.

[@thatboringone7851]

A few tips based on my own research, plus my own trial and error: Blanching the bones in a pork broth is very nearly necessary, especially if it's intended for a good bowl of ramen. Removing the scum and blood keeps the broth light in colour, and tends to result in a less off-tasting broth. Trust me when I say that making pork broth without doing this had some truly awful tasting results. It can also help to soak the bones in cold water (I'd suggest soaking for an hour) before blanching. For any broth, getting a rolling boil going helps to emulsify the collagen, without that the broth can end up less solid and more inconsistent. If you're trying to make broth in a pressure cooker or even a slow cooker, once you're done make sure to put everything in a suitably sized pot on a stove and get a good boil going for about an hour or two. You're looking for a boil that will roll and mix the broth, not a gentle simmer. When you're cooking on the stove, you'll lose water through the steam. That's okay, if you aren't looking for a super concentrated broth, add water throughout the process to keep it at the level you started with. Make sure to check every so often that it hasn't hit the last quarter of the pot to prevent anything from burning. Lastly, if you don't have a good way to strain the broth, try your best to strain the mixture into a container and leave it in the fridge until it is firmly set. At that point, most of the leftover bits you couldn't remove will have sunk to the bottom. Flip everything out onto a clean surface, remove the areas where the bits are, and put the broth (minus the bits) into a clean container.

[@hugo9846]

I specifically came to the comments section to ask about the pork broth because I had a hunch the blanching would be oddly specifically necessary for the pork, so thank you for saving us all some research. It's a good time to add that if you make stocks, or bone broths (same thing?), on the stove like me, it's better to use a tall stock pot since the smaller surface area on top leads to less evaporation, as opposed to a wider stock pot. I also place a small kitchen towel over the lid and add some weighted cans on the lid to try to get a better seal. It works just fine. … if you remember to only fill the pot up to the handles because as the water heats, it expands and will spill over if you overfill the pot.

[@MelissaFlaquer]

Neat, I was actually wondering about emulsification and using a slow cooker, thanks for the advice on giving it a whack of rolling boil afterward.

[@kawaiijp6638]

should i prepare the beef broth the same as pork or it's unnecessary ?

[@steveroma5728]

[@thatboringone7851]

@@antd754 Out of all the replies I only get a notification now... KZbin at it again. Anyway, from what I've learned over the years, for French and European style stocks and broth you keep everything at a simmer to keep the broth as clear as possible. If that's the style you intend to go for, then my tips of course aren't going to be as useful. For broths such as Tonkotsu (pork) though, it's the complete opposite: you want a rolling boil over many hours to emulsify as much as possible from the bones (more than you typically could without a rolling boil). All the minerals, collagen, fats, you want all of that to be emulsified as much as possible for a rich, thick, cloudy broth. I can definitely say that I'm biased - despite the effort it takes I prefer it over European pork broths. And, making it any other way if you're intending to use it for ramen is... More a bowl of noodle soup than a bowl of ramen. Any scum should be taken care of in cleaning the bones (or soaking them overnight, something I prefer now as it seems to work much better and takes less hands on time), along with skimming the surface every so often in the first hour to half hour in order to catch anything left over. If you're interested in the details and have the time, Serious Eats has a pretty comprehensive guide to my favourite- Tonkotsu broth. www.seriouseats.com/2012/02/how-to-make-tonkotsu-ramen-broth-at-home-recipe.html

[@NataliaShogun]

If you close the jar with HOT broth inside, it is going to seal itself. You can store it in a cold dark place for up to 2-4 weeks (like basement) or in a fridge for over a month. If it's sealed well of course. I usually use it faster than 2 weeks, but I kept a jar in the basement for almost 4 weeks and it was still good. In the fridge I kept it for almost 2 months and the broth was like I just made it. Highly recommend if you have a small freezer.

[@iamjoshuamichael]

With the holidays, I used all of the left overs (and bones from the ham and turkey) and made a ton of broth! I agree with you that it was intimidating at first, but now it's becoming part of my normal routine. Having homemade broth on hand all the time is a BLESSING!

[@MrMZaccone]

If you add the salt early, you decrease the relative osmotic pressure between the water and the bones, decreasing the tendency of the good stuff to end up in the water.

[@ronaldmcghghy8896]

I purchased a 15 qt stainless steel pressure cooking that is amazing for making stocks and broths.... I use it on an induction plate for heat control and set it to cook for 3 hours. 3 hours in the pressure cooker is like 48 hours simmer in a regular pot.

[@TheBadpav]

FYI, gelatin formation isn't sped up much by a pressure cooker. You definitely get all the flavor development, but the the collagen development is heat + time. 3 hours isn't enough time if you want a good bodied glace.

[@hedgerow.homestead]

That’s the way I do it too. I get beef bones from Kroger and cook them for about 24 hours in my slow cooker with about a tablespoon of ACV. Then I can it in a pressure canner. The slow cooking over a long time draws out a lot of flavor and gelatin.

[@kathleenconyers4923]

Thanks!

[@Shetasen]

Best thing if you're on a budget and can't afford good meat cuts. All the meat and collagen is tender and you get a rich good mouth feel broth for sauces or soups.

[@tlynn7463]

I may have missed this earlier but I noticed you made a canning video for tomatoes and I wanted you to know you can pressure can your bone broth as another option instead of freezing it. Save your freezer space and store your bone broth right on your pantry shelf. Tastes absolutely delicious and you do not have to wait for the thaw to use it.

[@beblessedbeblessed8895]

Yes you can go watch Mary's Nest bone broth recipes and canning 👍

[@robinlillian9471]

It's much easier than described to get bones. Just save the bones left over from cooked meat in the freezer--baked chicken carcasses, ham bones, pork rib bones,chicken wings, rib eye steak bones etc. etc. Fish bones, fish heads, lobster shells, and shrimp shells will also work, but I wouldn't boil the shells more than 45 minutes--the stock gets bitter. (Don't combine the fish and meat bones.) Add tomatoes, a little white wine, some more fish, and a few vegetables to your fish stock, and you have bouillabaisse. Obviously, if you have already used bones to make soup or stew, there won't be much left in them, anymore. You don't have to specially buy bones for stock, unless you want to. Make the stock when you have enough. Roasting the bones, blanching them, etc. is nice, but not absolutely necessary. Just fill the pot halfway with water & put on low. You can also use a crock pot if you can't stay home to keep an eye on your stock. Instant pots are supposed to have a crock pot function, too. You can make stock in large batches and freeze the extra. You can add flavorings when you are ready to make something with it. You can also freeze some of your stock in ice cube trays to use to add to make sauces & things. If you have a dehydrator, cook the stock down as much as possible and dehydrate. It will take up much less space that way. People have been making their own boullion cubes since the 18th century, at least. There's nothing new under the sun.

[@user-sn5uw7it5u]

Great tips! What's the reason not to mix fish and meat bones? Is it just because even fish bones (not just the crustacean shells) go bitter after 45min, whereas meat bones benefit from boiling for longer?

[@robinlillian9471]

Will C: Glad to be of help. The timing is part of it, but you could just add the fish bones at the end or combine the two stocks together later. Mostly those two tastes don't go well together, but try it for yourself and see if you like it. I have made salmon soup (canned salmon) with chicken stock & that worked. Of course, salmon is a more fatty, "meaty" fish.

[@9999plato]

Yep, shrimp shells make outstanding stock to start Paella or use in a veriety of ways. Sometimes I buy the whole shrimps just to get the heads and add them in. Asian markets often have the freshest stock replacement since they go through the seafood so quickly. We have a place called H mart a Korean market, outstanding in many ways.

[@KnightMirkoYo]

One of the coolest recipes we have in Easter Europe (Ukraine, specifically) is kholodets (the cold one). It is basically a not too salty or intense broth with some suspended meat, carrots and possibly other veggies. After it is refrigerated it's pretty stiff and eaten cold like savory jell-o.

A long time ago (when I was in college), I went to the butcher and got bones (I had to pay for them; they were not given to me), and, armed with my big, red and white Joy of Cooking book, I made stock and many different soups from it. It was time consuming, but the stock was absolutely wonderful. So rich, so tasty. My favorite soup I made with the stock was cabbage soup. I made both beef stock and chicken stock.

when our late cat baby bear had cancer (large cell lymphoma.) my mother made him bone broth from chicken. the liquid managed to get something into his stomach and we're also using it on our two remaining cats as well as a strictly wet food diet. remember people. if you only use the meat and bones and no other ingredients, your pet can eat it too. it's super good for them

[@DavidFromDenmark]

About the salt issue: To start with you should not put salt in the water due to the osmotic pressure. If you put salt in the water, the water is 'full' and cannot extract as much flavour. However, some flavours are salt soluble - so you should add a little bit of salt at the end of the process - but not to much if you decide to reduce your broth as the level of salt would be constant, endning up with having a very salty reduced broth.

[@krishnapalani7678]

I have been making bone broths for years. Not only do I get bones from our butcher, but I save bones from our meals as well and freeze them until I have a significant amount to make a good broth. I got some bison neck bones last year and it was amazing! I reuse the beef & bison ones a couple of times as well & cook down longer the 2nd time. Thanksgiving turkey also becomes stock. Maybe I am a reincarnated person from the depression era. ☺ Thanks for this! Another tip as well, not sure if anyone mentioned this or not but stock can easily be made in a crock pot or large electric roasting pan. It's great for people who don't have time babysit something on the stove but still want the richness of flavor & nutrition.

[@erNomic]

I was given a CSA farm share by a friend who was remodeling their kitchen. That moment changed my life forever. Find your local farmers market or get a farm share. The rewards are many, a trusting relationship with your food providers, the absolute freshest ingredients possible....when you see cooking shows with people like Bobby Flay and the beautiful ingredients, they're all at the market. The produce will easily last a week because it was picked within a day as opposed to grocery stores where it will be at least a few days old. The meats I get smell fresh, no scent at all unlike perdue or anything I get off shelves, its unreal. And also, economically its the best thing you can do for your country, town and community. They say we don't make anything in America anymore, well thats not true we make great food. The money you spend at the market stays in America. If you buy it from your local grocer, they are likely a multiple business corporation who beneficiaries are investors and others who are completely disconnected from the community. Your farmers spend the money you give them in their communities. That's where they live, and farmers rarely take vacations so you can be sure the money you give them will stimulate your local economy.

When making fish stock ask your fishmonger for lobster and crab bodies. Lots of times these go unsold because people want tails, legs and claws. Often you can get these for free. Fish heads, chum (organ meats) and fillet trim (left overs attached to the skeleton/tail is also generally cheap as well. Various mollusk shells and juices can be used to increase the flavor as well. Often clam juice can be purchased at a liquor supply store since it is used in some cocktails. This stuff will make some of the best ramen, pho and thai curried soups.

[@cyndifoore7743]

LOVE making broths and stocks. I've heard that you should add a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar to help pull more nutrients from the bones. I'm also firmly on the side of salting at the end.

One of the best thing you can do to take your cooking to the next level is making your own stocks. Not only do they taste better than anything you can get from a box they add texture and mouth feel to the dish due the gelatin that they bring to the party. Personally I reduce them by a factor of 4 and freeze them in ice cube trays then when it time to make a pan sauce I plop in one of my stock cubes.

I am really liking your videos and learning lots from them. At the moment, my cooking skills are very basic and I hope to improve a lot in the following weeks. I am as messy in the kitchen as you are on your videos.

[@lefthandright01]

There is no such thing as a bone broth. Bone+water+mirepoix= stock. Meat/sinew/skin+mirepoix=broth. James Beard was the first to say that broths and stocks are the same thing. He has been getting shit for it until this day. The confusion you speak of early in this segment is because of this very reason. Each has it own technique. if you interchange them you end up with your first example of beef stock. A huge amount of saturated fat on the surface and insipid colour. There is no debate on how long to cook a stock. The science is perfectly clear. let me help. 1 x part bones. 2 x parts water. 1/4 x part vegetables. Wash the bones. Scrub away all blood spots. Either blanch or par cook the bones to rend out excess fat. Rinse clean afterwards. Roast root vegetables with, or without tomato paste. Depending on what colour you want your fond to be. Place bones in large pot. Cover with cold water. Bring to 90 Celsius. Turn down flame and hold at that temperature for 60 minutes. The gelatin will release at this temperature with the albumin. The moment it boils all the gelatin and albumin will remain coagulated within the bones. After 60 minutes bring to the boil. Pour in 500-700ml cold water. This will make the hot water raise as the cold water sinks. This will flush all coagulated blood material to surface. Skim off any foam (coagulated blood mixed with excess protein.) Return to simmer. Add vegetables. Return to simmer for 5 hours. Skim regularly. Avoid simmering longer than 6 hours.(5 hours total for chicken and 25 minutes for fish bones.) This will begin the first stage of calcifying the bones which will make the stock cloudy. It will also start over cooking the protein in the stock. The exception to this rule is chinese wuxi stocks and Japanese tonkatsu ramen stock. Strain stock. Cool quickly. Remove any excess fat. Chill overnight. Remove any little pieces of congealed fat. Cut more mirepoix. Sweat in pot with the least amount of butter needed. Add any alcohol now. Pour stock in. Reduce by as little as 1/3..or as much as 3/4. Clean edges of pot as it reduces to avoid burning. Only simmer. Remove stock from heat. Allow to cool below 90 degrees Celsius. Add herbs. Allow to steep for no more than 15 minutes. Fine strain. If the stock is too hot it will destroy the essential oils that give the stock perfume. Only add salt when you have reheated the stock for whatever purpose. If you don't keep the stock well skimmed, as sauces, glaces, soups, stews etc you make will split and leave your mouth feeling oily and saturated. If you want to know my qualifications..I was the saucier for a 2 star chef and each month I had 1 metric tonne (1000kg) of bones to make stock out of. I did this for 3 years as part of my duties.I engaged a food technologist to break down the science of how to get the most amount of usable product. They explained the science to me. As a result I have never had to over reduce stocks to achieve the right colour, flavour or body. The key to success is getting as much gelatinous material and albumin out of the bones at the very start. Without those two components your stock will never get full bodied or clarity. It will simply be an oily liquid with little taste and lacking in mouth feel.

The two stocks you rated the most at the end where the lamb and the duck, which was interesting, they both seemed lighter than the others; The lamb you cooked without roasting the bones before hand and the duck you cooked for the shortest time. I believe that the lighter you approached the stock, the less overpowering it was, which made it nicer in the end. Like cooking medium rare meat, you approached the stock in the same fashion. Did not over cook the bones, or add too powerful flavours before the long cooking process. I believe this was the greatest take away from your experiment, and an amazing thing you did to help mine and other peoples cooking. Thanks so much, you are an amazing cook.

My grandmother always put the beef bone into the oven to brown them on very low temp for a few hours. When they were nice and brown she would scoop them into a pot and all the brown baked on trimmings off the roasting pan were scraped into the pot, too, cover with water and then she simmered it for several hours. I think that is the way to make bone broth.
