The ULTIMATE 24 hr bone broth for Pho

[@NgocTran-cf2wp]

I love this video. Chef owner of Viet Citron here in the US. We do 48 hours pho broth…so I can appreciate your meticulous processes of making good beautiful pho beef broth! The smokiness and beefiness of the flavors are so different between 12 hrs, 24 hrs, and 48 hrs. Those equipments are so dang cool!

[@Cash4Fruit]

Wow! Do you think 48 hour pho is doable at home (I have a 30 quart pot) also my utility bill is included with my rent! I’m patient and want the best pho! 🤔

[@AustralianBushman]

Yes why wash the bones? Is it to reduce the 'scum'? But isn't it wasting flavour? I just put the roasted bones, fat and bits from the pan straight into boiling water... will so how it turns out tomorrow...

[@AustralianBushman]

I didn't wash the bones and the broth was opaque but quite light/white - not much colour at all.

Leighton Pho Bro I love your sense of humor. I love your edutainment style of story telling. Congratulations on the new camera, I do hope it will serve you for many videos. When it comes to being a Pho Specialist I love your absolute transparency, attention to detail, holistic approach, your passion to serve others and I've got my bones in the oven roasting as I follow you pattern to do the 24 hour bone broth. Thank you so much. Oh by the way: I found your KZbin Channel when I typed in keto 24 hour bone broth recipe. I bought 3 kgs beef bone and never done it before and looking forward to my desired outcome. Cheers Chris

Thanks Chris this one was a very very old video haha channel has come along way since then. Will need to update this video soon.

[@josephmars20]

I made my own pho broth for the first time. My wife and I are white and addicted to pho haha. We go all over to get it but was never impressed with the broth, not anymore. Not to toot my own horn but it’s amazing. I made 4 gallons and pressure canned it in court jars so we can have it anytime we want.

Hi Joseph thanks for taking the time to reach out and comment. Yes this channel is dedicated to all things Pho and my aim is to share my knowledge of Pho so that people right around the world of all races can share that same love of Pho! Will be doing a series of tutorials shortly so stay tuned.

@@Cash4Fruit It makes for such easy dinners when you always have some on hand when it’s canned for long term storage. And has zero msg if you are into that kinda thing.

I just got done making my first bone broth and one big thing to consider is the waste water. Luckily I have a field to dump it in, but if your dumping this stuff down your drains it's going to catch up to you eventually. Waste water includes clean up and rinses. Maybe I'm overly concerned but I've caused two clogs in my life from ignorance and it's costly.

Hi Leighton, you're right, this was very entertaining to watch, I love your dry humor.

What temp do you roast bones ? How long please? I am starting 70 pounds of Fresh Large Beef Bones to make 30 gallon of pho broth ! Oh and today I will be using your seasoning when I get to that stage ..

[@saigonproducer]

His 1:1 ratio is kg to liters. So his method would be: 70lb of bones is 30kg. That should make 30 liters of broth, which is 8 gallons. I’m so confused. Is he saying that right? He said he uses 120kg of bones to make 120liters of broth. That sounds so off to me.

[@ncanellos]

Thanks Nick yes I’m packing that as we speak. Jersey Shore 🙌🏻

[@ncanellos]

Yup that's me ! I've been attempting to make Pho since 2014 but quite frankly only in last few years have I wrapped my head around the proper process. Your Chanel has been my Gold standard. Have 8 gallon cooking since yesterday at 4PM be done today with my broth ! Love you and your Chanel!! God Bless. For 8 gallon I used 16 -18 pounds of beef bones ! Can't wait to try your seasonings

[@donnacorley2003]

Please consider changing the pho broth collection container to only glass containers unless the pho has 100% cooled off? I don't necessarily agree with hot broth inside white plastic buckets. Isn't that too much risk for the heat of the pho liquid to leech the plastic? Just curious!!?

[@Pho]

Thanks for the comment Donna - rest assured these are food grade commercial pails. Similarly beverages and juices you find in PET bottles are hot filled to make them shelf stable.

[@MyOfficialTestimony]

Wait, in the beginning you roasted the bones for 10 mins at 300 Celsius, then boiled them for how long at what temperature? Then to remove the scum , drain them, wash them, and put fresh new water ? I’m curious as to what you do with the first batch. Unless you discard the first batch all together??

[@wendyshoowaiching4161]

Boil at high temperature (10 mins), remove water, high temperature boil 10-20 mins & low temperature (23.5 hours) at little bubble temperature (Total 24 hours)

[@tomtang4791]

Hi Leighton - when you guys are scooping out the bones after the 24 hour render I do see many of the bones with rendered bone marrow. Is it too much work to collect them and offer it as either appetizer or a pho topping? I would imagine somebody would have to dig it out, bone by bone.

[@Pho]

Hi Tom yes I get a lot of comments about this. In an ideal world can try and salvage everything. Put it on the menu or extra topping. I get it. But in reality it's in and out. I'm there to extract the broth that's it. If I had unlimited staff and labour was cheap (like in Vietnam) absolutely can get a team on it but it's the opposite. Staff cherry pick what's left for their meal as their scooping out the bones but most gets thrown away. The type of customers I get here aren't interested so it doesn't work unfortunately =(

[@christiansalvador747]

Wow amazing work. Did you salt this at all?

[@Pho]

No - just water + bones + time. I need to re shoot this video. Made this early in the piece but it's coming a long way since then 😀 I don't add salt as I use this for a few different recipes (not just Pho). Can easily add salt in post.

No just bones + water. This makes up the "base". Set n forget. Stage 2 is where you take this base and blend it into a Pho very quickly. I call it "the blend" method. During stage 2 this is when you add all your seasoning/spices/etc.

[@hlam6476]

Hi Leighton, for home cooks, could we make the the 24 hour bone broth in a slow cooker rather than on the stove top?

[@Pho]

Yes I recommend a slow cooker - its much safer! Never do it on stove top unattended. The biggest issue of slow cooker = volume is very small to fit bones in. Alternatively go buy a cheap induction cooktop from Kmart and a large pot. You can run this safely overnight (but it cuts off after a certain time). BUT the best option is an a hot water "urn". This is how I started off before I had my kitchen. Find a cheap 20L -30L urn on Marketplace - these run indefinitely and best of all you can set the temp! By far the most accurate and safest way to pull of a true 24 hour base. I need to do a video on this.

[@prawiro412]

Thanks for sharing video, where can I buy commercial pot like yours?

[@Pho]

It depends what country you are in? This is just an electric bratt pan which you can find in most countries. There are ones that aren't as advanced as this (where the tilt is done with a wheel manually). There are also steam jacket kettles that tilt as well.

[@Nick2JZ]

Wow.....i will add your place to my bucket list. Do you sell the bones as Xi Quach? From USA.

[@Pho]

Short answer no - just doesn't work for the type of customers here. Would love for it to get a second lease of life but just not practical. Growing up I would rummage the stockpot for these bones with a side of hoi sin.

[@jasperlim8909]

Why are the boxes of bones labeled "fresh poultry"?

[@grassfed7852]

How long is bone broth good for in the fridge? I'm sure in the freezer it'll last a year or more.

[@Pho]

It all depends on how fast you chill it. Long story short food industry use a common technique called cook n chill > cook a product and chill it down FAST in a blast chiller. The faster you do it the longer it will last. Most people leave it out on the counter to cool down before putting it into their fridge > I would use this in less than 1 week. If using the above method you can extend the shelf life easily. I did have some testing done at a lab for my broth using the cook chill method but it was in a hot fill pouch which was sealed. It past 14 days which what I was aiming for. In the freezer yes can can go anywhere from 6-12 months easily. I would recommend freezing if you are unsure.

[@grassfed7852]

Thank you! That's about what I was thinking

[@azliz4186]

How would this be with pork bones?

[@Pho]

I do pork bones but not 24 hours - only 6 to 12 hours. I've yet to do a video on this but the pork bone "base" created from this is used for other soups eg the Bun Bo Hue.

[@5dogdig336]

What do you do with the fatty oil that sits on the top?

[@stevo-dx5rr]

Do the types of beef bones matter very much in the finished product?

[@Pho]

Yes and No - let me explain. Marrow bone is my go to (Long femur which has the best marrow to bone ratio) But use what is available to you. Most butchers have this readily available. Stock standard. Even supermarkets have marrow bone in the freezer section (although more expensive). I've read all the books and literature about mixing bone marrow up with neck bone for example. The reality is you won't notice any difference as a home cook. Save that energy on producing a concentrated broth (paying attention to time and temperature). The aim is to lose as little over the entire cooking period. If you started with 10L of water > finish close to this mark. It's like a game. If you lose half your load because the temperature is too high and it evaporates > you then top it up with water = repeat that a few times and you end up with a watery broth. Each time you add water you are cutting down the strength of it. This bone broth base we are creating is meant to be the foundation for your Pho but if it's already weak and watery the final result is a poor tasting Pho.

[@stevo-dx5rr]

@@Pho Thank you! I went with “beef bone” from one of our Asian stores which looks to be a mix of legs, and knee joints. They also had beef necks and oxtail; both looked like they would be good if I braise them in the pot when I do the blend step, so I can feature them in the bowl with a little bit of sliced rare beef. I just finished browning and blanching the bones, and I’m about an hour in on as low a simmer as my stove can produce (which is how I usually make chicken stock also). Any tips on using the beef neck and oxtails (both are similarly cartilaginous and meaty)? I was thinking of browning them off a bit and then braising for ~3 hours or so in my blend. Alternatively I could do the same for the last three hours of the beef bones in my broth, or, it isn’t too late now to get them in to the stock pot, but I thought the meat wouldn’t be so good if I cook them now.

[@stevo-dx5rr]

Update….my bone broth was a huge FAILURE! Despite going on the lowest setting possible on my stove (which was a tiny bubble), my entire broth EVAPORATED over night! Trying again tonight with a lid partially covering the pot. Wish me luck!

[@danjbundrick]

How much volume loss should you expect after 24 hours. I came back to mine after leaving it overnight and most of the water was gone. I think maybe the temperature ticked up overnight until it started to boil off

[@Pho]

It's been a while since I've done 24 hours. Mine is actually a 36 hr and there's about a 30% drop. If you are losing most of it: 1) Temp is too high 2) There's not enough fat on the top layer to stop the broth from evaporating I'll cover both these in my next tutorial video but if most of it is gone and your adding in a ton of water...it's a waste of time because you are diluting it down again and again making it weaker. If you have a thermometer check to see the actual temp (I keep mine at a constant 90 degree C) + that fat layer = very little loss. Remember the aim is to lose as little as possible. Watch my latest Pho Tutorial and you'll see what I mean.

There is another company that have a unit exactly the same (obviously rebranded) in the States - I'm drawing a blank and can't remember the name at the moment.
