The basics of stock production
|

Stock: A flavorful liquid infused from a main ingredient that has been reduced. In this case, veal bones are the main ingredient.
|

If you are making a brown stock, don't forget to deglaze your roasting pans after you roast the bones. There is lots of flavor in there!
|
|

Mirepoix needs to be cut to a size that matches your bones. Big bones = big mirepoix!
|

Aromatics are put in a sachet. This small package produces lots of flavor.
|
|

Why do you have to skim the scum?!?
|

Because we want to have a nice, clear stock!
|
|

Be safe when you strain your stock! Pour it away from you and others.
|

There is lots of flavor left in the mirepoix so press the liquid out during straining.
|
|

Don't let your stock sit in the temperature danger zone. Venting is the best way to cool a stock quickly.
