Editor's Notes
- #9 starting in a cold water allows the proteins and other impurities to dissolve in the water and then as the liquid is heated, the upward pressure of the steam causes these impurities to rise to the surface where then can be skimmed off.
- #10 Can you simmer stock too long? Cooking Too Long But there is a limit to how long cooking remains beneficial. If you let the bone broth go too long, it can turn and the stock can become bitter or have off-flavors.
- #11 Watch what you're cooking, there should be gentle movement, but not a full roiling pan of whatever it is you're cooking. To get something simmering away, you need to bring up to a full boil, then reduce the heat until you're getting movement, but not full bubbling
- #13 simmering allows the impurities to continue to rise to the top of the stock where it can be skimmed and removed from the final product.
- #15 skimming is done to remove impurities from the liquid and improve the clarity of final product .
- #16 A simple combination of chopped carrots, celery, and onions The holy trinity is the Cajun and Louisiana Creole variant of mirepoix; traditional mirepoix is two parts onions, one part carrots, and one part celery, whereas the holy trinity is typically equal measures of the three ingredients or one parts onions, one part celery, and one part green bell pepper.
- #17 The purpose of mirepoix is to flavor the stock and flavor break down when heated for along time .
- #20 Straining the liquid ensures your final stock will have better cleanliness or clarity .
- #21 Cool the stock quickly to prevent food-borne illnesses or souring .
- #22 Consider reducing the quantity or size of the food you're cooling. Another option is to create an ice-water bath: Divide the foods into smaller quantities in pots or pans, and then place these into a sink or larger container filled with ice water, stirring to cool the food
- #24 Store the finished stock in a refrigerator for up to four or five days or in a freezer for several months.
- #26 After the stock has cooled, you can remove ay hardened fat from the surface before reheating.
