      I make a lot of stock and use it in nearly everything. Love the process and the end result tastes much better than anything I can buy. Long slow simmer, etc.

      Tried this guy’s new way (heresy!) and it’s superior to anything I’ve made before. Also done in one hour with $6 worth of ingredients.

        Fascinating! I wonder if you could use raw chicken.

        Got to try this. I've been drinking bone broth for a while now and apparently I can make it in Instant Pot.

          @Mik

          I don’t know why not, and you can control the salt more easily.

          Maybe go for 2 hours rather than 40 minutes? He says anything under 3 hours is ok. Or roast the chicken first if you want roasted flavor. Easy and quick enough if using parts or you hack up the whole bird first. Got cleaver? 😎

          OTOH, the $5 Costco rotisserie chicken (or even the $8 Heinens rotisserie chicken) is hard to beat as far as value.

            I've been making stock in the Instant Pot for eons. Works great.

            I even copied over the recipe I posted on the old WTF many years ago:

            https://wtf.coffee-room.com/post/6949

            I could definitely see the rotisserie chicken version, though, and especially the part about breaking up the meat into smaller pieces. Will definitely give it a try.

                Dicing up the veg is also a new twist. I’ve never seen anyone do that.

                  Not only dicing, but sauteing before adding the liquid ingredients. It adds a lot of depth of flavor.

                  Julia Child does the roasting thing to make turkey gravy for her deconstructed roast turkey. It makes fabulous gravy.

                    I user to make a vegetation stock (and pressure canned it) just keeping all my veggie scraps (including onion skin) in a bag in the freezer (no cruciferous veg). Once I had a large freezer ziplock full I put it in our large crockpot and filled to the top with water. 6-8 hours later I strained the stock and either froze or pressure canned it. I loved having it around and someday I’ll probably go back to making it.

                        BTW, Chris Young, the guy whose video on rotisserie chicken stock that @steve-miller posted, has some other great videos. Like this one on the best frying pan. @bernard might be interested.
