Looks good - there is nothing like home made stock - in gravy

 

[Clint]

I like your pot...

Only tome I do home made stock is Christmas. Spend hours on it reducing down and making a gravy that is a meal in itself.
Good on you rod I looks tasty.

Veg stock and fish stock are easy , beef is the only one i buy and i then modify it

I keep all my chicken bones and rib bones from pork belly (bacon making) stick them in the freezer and when I have enough, boil for an hour with some veg and you have a hearty stock for soups and gravies. Must say I dont make veg stock...its easier to use knorr stock pots. In fact I used 2 tonite

veg is easy carrots, onions celery bit of tyeme, a few peppercorns, and no salt

 

[Irishwizard]

Ill look into that- how much Russian gas to I have to use!!

We don't eat meat but there is always a jug of veg stock in the fridge. All the cooking liquids go into it then it gets reduced down, enriched with seaweed etc.

ALso, when the supermarlkets do the half price whole salmon at Xmas/Easter, get one of those, boil up the bits after filleting it, fantastic fish stock for bouillabaisse and paella.

I like doing my stock in the pressure cooker, next level flavour in half the time. There’s something very satisfying about getting the best out of every last bit of the leftovers, whatever your cooking.

There are few things in life as satisfying as making a good stock - be it purely as the base of a fine sauce or eeking out the last goodness of the Sunday roast for a Monday soup.

When I worked in kitchens as a lad, I loved roasting kilos of veal bones to end up with an ice cream tub of dark brown gold to use in the sauces.

Your right Norman most folks just chuck the chicken carcass in the bin, chop it up in to a pot 3 or 4 pints of water celery carrot onion few pepper corns walla stock for soup all week
