Who makes stock? I made a pork roast yesterday. Covered it with foil and put stock in the bottom of the pan. Stock was made from smoked pork bones and various vege scraps. Cooked for about 4 hours and then put the crackling under the grill. Best roast ever it was falling off the bone.
What's some other good uses for stock? I cook rice with it rather than water and sometimes make soup. But I froze some and am wondering what else I can do with this nectar

>Who makes stock? Anyone who takes cooking seriously. It's like babby's first step to elevate cooking to the next level.
>What's some other good uses for stock? Cook vegetables, beans, etc, in it instead of water. Use as the liquid for stews, pot roasts, and other braised dishes. Soup. Poach meats in it. Reduce it down for making sauces or glaze.

A few things that might work for you: 1) a pressure cooker can make stock in about 1/3 the time compared to the traditional method.
2) you can also make it in a crock pot or slow cooker; just let it go overnight on low.
3)Even if you make it the traditional way it is very much hands-off. You can get your pot started and then go do other things while it's simmering on super-low heat. You don't have to stand there and attend it the whole time.

This. I make chicken stock in 1 hour in the pressure cooker and meat stock in 2. It still takes longer to make though as there's usually 1 hour bone roasting, cool down period, and I usually reduce the stock too so it ends up taking a long time. But less than just boiling the bones.

I make stock while I sleep. place simmering pot in a 180F oven for about 8hrs after skimming for the first hr on the stovetop.

I like to put it on when I'm cooking some meals for the week to take to work. I start it off with the bones etc, and then just throw in all my scraps as I make some curry and grilled veges and throw some chicken on the skillet to pack for lunches. Probably simmer it for at least 4 or 5 hours. Then I use stock with dinner meals and other on the day cooking.
When I was a kid my parents used to put the pot on the fireplace and let it simmer overnight as the fire died down

Another trick is to simply make a big-ass batch whenever you do make stock. I bought a gigantic pot for this exact purpose. Make a huge batch of it, then portion it up and freeze it. That way whenever you need stock all you nee to do is grab however many portions you want out of the freezer.
