Make Your Own 'Liquid Gold' Chicken Stock | Epicurious 101

[@mhermarckarakouzian8899]

OMG, the offset of the pan from the heat was a revelation! I’ve been making stock and watching food videos for over 12 years and never saw this. Thank you so much! 🙏🏻

[@Toni_Erdmann]

Right? I clicked on a video thinking "what new can I learn from another stock video?" and then this tip made so much sense.

[@lobsaha9466]

That hurts my OCD 😂

[@edwardroscoe5241]

Agree. That's a great tip.

[@Ednoxious1]

Bruh the bubbles on the side of the pot was a genius level tip! Been cooking in kitchens for years and NEVER tried this. Fantastic! 🙏🏾

I've made a lot of chicken stock but I always like to see how other people do it. You can always learn something new.

Adrienne is amazing! I will never get tired of learning from her. 🥰

[@DingusMcGillicutty007]

I’ve watched about 30 videos on making stock and a lot were from some of my favorite KZbin Chefs. The idea of moving the pot to direct the heat so it benefits you was almost mind blowing! Such a simple idea, always noticed but didn’t connect the dots 😢 Thank you 🙏

[@daphnetilling6034]

I take it further and reduce the stock to a quarter of its content and then freeze in ice cube trays. I then use them like stock cubes dissolving 1 part stock to 3 parts boiling water, or just add a cube or two to whatever i am cooking. This saves space in freezer for same result

[@purplecrayon7281]

How long will that take, to reduce the stock by 75%? Days? a whole month of boiling on low heat?

[@daphnetilling6034]

@@purplecrayon7281 Days and months? such a silly goose lol at a medium simmer 30 minutes to an hour depending on how much you have made.

[@kfgabriele9852]

Same here! I make my stock/broth in a pressure cooker. It’s fast and keeps the foam/scum build up to a bare minimum. After straining and chilling to remove the fat, I follow the same reduction method. Easy, inexpensive, and a great flavor booster!

[@m4rxwp]

I love how the pro chefs never waste a single bit of food

[@NeilGirdhar]

This is a great video of the traditional way to make stock. But with modern appliances, I think this can be made way more efficient. I use a pressure cooker instead of a stockpot. Because it's sealed, the high pressure steam does all the work and I don't need to submerge my ingredients in so much water. I only use a few cups of water for four chicken carcasses. After making the stock, I concentrate it to about 1.5 cups of syrup that I freeze. This is more convenient for thickening sauces, and probably keeps for longer. A tip I learned from another cooking channel is to use filtered water for this since any impurities in your water will be concentrated.

[@lucastakushi]

How do you remove the foam/scum?

[@SpaceIsThePlace_]

Or you can just buy chicken stock from the store and you don’t have to worry about any of this

[@NeilGirdhar]

@@lucastakushi I don't. My way doesn't produce restaurant-like ultra-clear stock. I use to stock to thicken sauces.

[@diaryofamadblackfemcel2094]

[@Reptiliomorph]

Two things I've learned from making stock on a large scale: you won't need to skim scum off if you blanch or roast (roasting is much better in my opinion for flavour reasons) the bones ahead. Second, this whole process is much easier when using a slow cooker/crock pot. Set it and forget it, and let it go for a whole day if you want.

[@artistlovepeace]

This woman is absolutely a trained professional. Wow! Great demo and lecture. Thank you for producing and sharing.

[@MegaFortinbras]

Cooks Illustrated did some tests. They found that the only things that significantly affected the taste of chicken stock were bay leaves and onion.

did they reduce it

[@russellmz]

wait, chicken and bones didn't affect it?

[@garretdziuk823]

​@@j1ddo106if you are making stock and reducing it, only use chicken.

The *significant* flavors may be bay leaf and onion, but carrots and onions have their own subtly important addition.

[@igonz22]

The slow cooker is the best tool for stock/broth making

[@michaelcarter8120]

Remember what the late Paul Prudhomme once said “Water’s for washing, broth is for cooking” I try to do just that on just about everything I cook…

[@julianosvonskingrad7009]

I cook my German Maultaschen sliced in stock. You normally do it in salted water but I make a stock based soup out of it

[@brothyr]

I understand she's being professional and making another food for other people. Im making this for myself. Im cooking all this in a slow cooker for 24 hours until the bones are brittle. When I cool this, it should jiggle like gelatin. If it doesn't, I reduce it in a pot by about half. When frozen, it should bulge up as the ice crystals expand inside the gelatin.

[@jilllucyfan7835]

I make mine about the same, but I add a few whole peppercorns and some garlic. I've seen people add ginger & bay leaves as well.

[@TerryKashat]

I’ve always known broth to be the best compared to stock. The way you explained stock is what I thought broth is. That said. What you did is what I was looking for. You’re pro

[@Zipfei_Kloatscher]

I put 1-2 tbsp of vinegar to the stock after skimming so the bones release even more of their goodness... 🙂👍🏻

[@ryanhollman9259]

i literally just watched top chef and i was looking for a video to cook this and i saw her face i was so excited

[@askmiller]

The nice thing about stock is you can basically use whatever you want and measurements don't really matter. You were going to throw away the stuff you'd normally put in stock anyway so if you don't like how it turned out, the only real loss is the energy it took to heat the water and maybe like 15 min of your time.

[@JohnHausser]

Gordon Ramsay was right ! Some people still think it’s possible to find good chicken broth in grocery stores! It’s fcking sad lol Cheers from San Diego California

[@teecee4459]

[@ItsABoatThing]

Thanks! Super simple!

[@roospike]

Curious: normal rule of thumb the smaller the cut the more flavor extracted so why leave vegetables whole / large versus cutting them smaller? Good tips posted. Offsetting stock pot on heat source to keep half rolling simmer. 👌 Thoughts with pressure cooker vs stockpot vessel when making stock. ( obvious wouldnt cook down or condensed)

[@valgal972]

i could be wrong, but my theory is that because you aren’t cooking most things for hours on end, you want to cut smaller because it extracts flavor more quickly (more surface area = faster extraction). for something like a stock, it cooks for so long that it has enough time to fully penetrate the veggies and extract all flavors, regardless of the size of the cut. i hope this helps!

[@skyworm8006]

​@@valgal972 You need to simmer for a long time to break down the collagen which is the bulk of the flavour. So if you are going to simmer for a long time then there's no point in cutting the vegetables smaller.

[@casey2732]

One tip from me... Always add vegetables after skimming

[@rebecca-ht4ci]

I use those same ingredients but I put in peppercorns and 6-10 whole allspice. You can’t perceive anything other than the stock tastes richer somehow. It doesn’t taste like pepper and allspice, however.

Please post links to videos on what to do once I have my chicken stock. I need recipes!

[@jenbear8652]

Use your stock to replace water in any savory recipes. It makes the best potato soup! Any soup, gravy, sauce. Cook noodles or rice in it. Make your own chicken & noodles by just adding/cooking some chopped or shredded carrots in the noodles & stock; then stir in cooked chicken when the noodles and carrots are done. & I recently found a recipe for making your own Knorr rice or noodle dishes and you can replace water in those with your stock. Any recipe that calls for bouillon, just replace both water and bouillon with your stock. ( use same amount of stock as the recipe calls for water and eliminate the bouillon). I hope this helps.

[@loveirisb1221]

[@Jorgen223]

I don’t peel the onions. This way I save the crying (for another day 😁) plus it gives the stock this beautiful color.

do we have to peel the veggies or can we put any skin in the stock?

[@valgal972]

you can leave the skin on, as long as all dirt is thoroughly washed off. the skin adds more color to the stock, but won’t do much for flavor

[@freddycortbawi9311]

instant pot can be done, internet has tons of recipes. NO BONES for doggie. not sure the safety of the veggies (onion is poisonous to some animals) but never feed chicken bones to your dog, they are too small and breakable while at the same time being hard and sharp enough to be dangerous.

[@LullabyeLaura]

Cooked bones can be very dangerous for animals, especially poultry bones. They're a huge choking hazard.

I’ve always heard it said that you should never give chicken bones to dogs.
