    Did you just say no bacteria can grow in temperatures above 130 degrees Fahrenheit? The danger zone is between approximately 40°f to 145°f. You need to get your facts right. Don’t give false information.

    Fabulous video. I make mine by simmering all day on the stove top and then end up using a huge strainer and another bowl….I will admit I love the process and the time it takes on a snowy day in New England. However I will absolutely be making it this way this week. I use scrapped veggies that I freeze whenever I have leftovers, also I know the chicken has no flavor once the process is complete so I freeze it for all my family and friends who have dogs. They love it as a treat. I just discovered you on YouTube this morning and have subscribed and of course clicked the notification bell.

    You've given me some great tips for stock making. I started making my own stock on a whim last year when I had a spare chicken carcass and had already the tools after having started making jam with a hand-me-down maslin pan. I hadn't really considered boiling it down so far, or about taking the excess fat off at all – as such my freezer has a load of ziplock bags of stock poured straight in once cooled. Having all of the carcass really does matter though – I made a stock from the remains of the xmas turkey… it was the crown of the animal and the lack of all the legs and other bits you get normally with a chicken made such a huge difference to thickness of the stock. That stock however did get used up and did make a wonderful gravy for New Years anyway 🙂

    I would save the breast meat for soup. I roast two whole small chickens, save the breast meat, than put the rest of the chicken and the juices in my 8 qt instant pot with a gallon of water. I then refrigerate and later cube the breast meat for soup. It’s moist and delicious when you add it to soup, and not as stringy as dark meat.

    Quality content, I love how you make a point to explain the "why" behind your recipes – technique and principles a much more important in a recipe than a list of instructions. I stumbled upon your channel looking for some info on duck confit, and now I can't stop watching. Thanks so much!

    Hi, Helen I have an instant pot sitting in the garage in a box never used. After watching your video Friday night, I head over to whole food got a plain rotisserie chicken and made stock. I could not believe how simple and easy it was to do. As we speak I am making blond stock from a chicken that I just processed at a chicken farm yes, I slaughter. It gives you a whole new meaning of knowing where you get your meats comes from.

    #realcomment Hi! Thank you for this video! I have a question for you – once cooking time is finish and pot is cooling down how long can I leave it unopened? Say I finished cooking at 4PM – will it be safe to leave the Instant Pot for longer then 8 hours? Until next morning?

    #realcomment Thank you so much for this video! I have recently been learning how to make pan sauces and I have had very disappointing results using store-bought chicken stock. Almost no flavor, and definitely no body – I might as well be using plain water! I have tried the trick of adding powdered gelatin; this improves the body, but not the flavor. I'm excited to try your recipe 🙂

    I was disappointed to hear you say you throw the chicken away. I never tried using a roasted chicken, but I would think that removing the skin and bones before cooking and using that should give you the majority of taste and all the collagen that you are looking for. I had to see if the skin actually has any, and apparently it has a decent amount. Maybe students in your classes could use the meat to treat their dogs or something.

    wait wait wait. No. Stock is bones only. If you use meat, it is a Broth. This is a huge waste of a chicken, do you think people have entire chickens to throw away? This is a huge waste of food. How can you promote this wasting of food to 75k people? Stock uses Bones only, this is a fact. No one wastes chickens in a stock except you. ridiculous. This is not even how you make a Brown stock either. You just roast the bones of the chicken, pork or cow, etc, and you start with a mirepoix, carrot celery onions or your choice of aromatics, then you add tomato paste, or you can put tomato paste on the bones when you roast them, either way tomato paste, cook it through, then you add your bones and your waster. that is a brown stock… Why are you pretending to know things you do not know.

    #realcomment Great video, Helen! I made stock using this method, but after a day in the fridge, the fat has not floated to the surface. I’m guessing it somehow emulsified into the stock, which I’m afraid will make it greasy. Might have to clarify. Do you think this is the case, and is there something I did to cause it?
