Skim the scum from the stock with a spoon or fine mesh strainer every 10 to 15 minutes for the first hour of cooking and twice each hour for the next 2 hours. Add hot water as needed to keep bones and vegetables submerged. Simmer uncovered for 6 to 8 hours.
  • Strain stock through a fine mesh strainer into another large stockpot or heatproof container discarding the solids. Cool immediately in large cooler of ice or a sink full of ice water to below 40 degrees. Place in refrigerator overnight. Remove solidified fat from surface of liquid and store in container with lid in refrigerator for 2 to 3 days or in freezer for up to 3 months. Prior to use, bring to boil for 2 minutes. Use as a base for soups and sauces.

CHICKEN STOCK



Chicken Stock image

This recipe for an intense, lovely chicken stock is full of deep flavors and provides a perfect base for soup. Feel free to use leftover bones from roast chicken, but at least half of the bones should be raw. Ask your butcher for feet, heads and wings, which are all high in gelatin and will lend body to the stock. Once cooled, freeze the stock in old 32-ounce yogurt containers, which have the added benefit of being premeasured.

Provided by Samin Nosrat

Time 9h

Yield About 6 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 pounds raw chicken bones
6 quarts water
2 onions, unpeeled, quartered
2 carrots, peeled and halved crosswise
2 celery stalks, halved crosswise
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 bay leaves
4 thyme sprigs
5 parsley sprigs (or 10 stems)
1 tablespoon white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • Put everything but the vinegar in a large stockpot. Bring the stock to a boil over high heat, then turn down to a simmer.
  • Skim off any foam that rises to the surface. Add the vinegar. (It helps draw out nutrients and minerals from the bones into the stock.)
  • Simmer the stock for 6 to 8 hours, covered, keeping an eye on it to make sure it stays at a simmer.
  • Strain the stock through a fine-meshed sieve. Let cool.
  • Scrape the fat that rises to the top. (Save it in the fridge or freezer for matzoh ball soup.) Refrigerate for up to 5 days, or freeze for up to 3 months.

ROASTED CHICKEN STOCK



Roasted Chicken Stock image

One of the great joys of roasting a chicken is turning the bones into stock. This simple golden elixir, a real panacea for life's ailments, starts with a leftover carcass from a roasted chicken, one you've already eaten and picked the meat off of. What you're going for here isn't clarity in looks or flavor, as you might with a traditional French stock. Instead, this version is deeply fortified with alliums, bay leaves, peppercorns and a touch of turmeric for earthy depth and spiced savoriness. This stock is great to cook with, but also tastes excellent sipped straight from a mug like tea.

Provided by Eric Kim

Time 1h10m

Yield 1 1/2 to 2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 leftover carcass from a whole roasted chicken, meat picked off and saved for another use
1 large yellow onion
1 head of garlic
8 small or 4 large dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon kosher salt (Diamond Crystal) or 1 1/2 teaspoons coarse kosher salt
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric

Steps:

  • To make this stock in an Instant Pot: Add the chicken carcass to a 3- or 6-quart Instant Pot or other electric pressure cooker. Chop the onion into eighths, and slice the garlic head in half crosswise to expose the cloves; dump the alliums into the pot over the chicken. Crush the bay leaves and add, along with the salt, black peppercorns, and turmeric. Add enough cold water to reach the max line in the 3-quart or to cover the bones in the 6-quart (5 to 6 cups). Gently stir and cover with the lid. Pressure-cook on high for 1 hour and let the pressure release naturally.
  • To make this stock on the stove: Follow Step 1, but place all of the ingredients, including the water, into a large heavy-bottomed pot, such as a Dutch oven or stock pot, and gently stir. Bring to a boil over high heat, then immediately reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Cover and cook until the stock is deeply golden, the chicken bones are falling apart at the joints when you try to pick them up and the vegetables have turned to mush, about 3 hours.
  • Strain the contents of the pot through a colander set over a large bowl; press the bones to get out all of the liquid. Taste for seasoning, adjusting with salt as desired. Ladle the stock into large mugs for sipping, or use as an ingredient in your cooking. Alternatively, you can let the strained stock cool slightly before transferring into quart containers and storing in the refrigerator.
  • This chicken stock will keep in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days or in the freezer for up to 4 months. Heat individual portions in coffee mugs to drink in the morning for breakfast, or use as a base for soups, stews and porridges throughout the week.
