Guidelines for Preparing Stock

Study Notes

Follow proper cooling and storing procedures to ensure stock remains savory and satisfying.
Minimum simmering times vary by stock type:
- Vegetable and fish/shellfish: 45 minutes
- Chicken bones: 3 hours
- Veal bones: 6 hours
- Beef bones: 8-10 hours
Consider increasing simmering times for deeper flavor development.
Begin stock preparation with cold water for better protein extraction.
After reaching a full boil, reduce heat to a gentle simmer to avoid cloudiness.
Avoid adding salt to stock as it can lead to excessive saltiness in final dishes.
Add vegetables and seasonings to the stock but remove scum from the surface periodically.
Carefully strain the stock using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to trap particles effectively.

Proper stock preparation serves as a foundation for soups and sauces.
Understanding techniques allows for improved flavor and consistency in culinary applications.

White stock typically involves simmering raw bones with vegetables.
Brown stock requires browning the meat and bones prior to simmering for added depth of flavor.
Both types rely on similar primary ingredients but differ in preparation techniques and desired outcomes.
