What 3 ingredients are needed to make a stock?

The basic ratio I use for making stock is 4:1 1/2:1/2:1/2. That’s 4 pounds of bones and meat, 1 1/2 pounds of onions, and 1/2 pounds each of carrots and celery. This ratio works for beef, chicken, turkey, ham/pork, veal, whatever the meat is and makes about 2 quarts of stock. The quantities needn’t be at all precise.

Is there a difference between chicken stock and chicken broth?

A: Chicken stock tends to be made more from bony parts, whereas chicken broth is made more out of meat. Chicken stock tends to have a fuller mouth feel and richer flavor, due to the gelatin released by long-simmering bones. Canned low-sodium chicken broth is the busy home-cook’s best friend.

If you’re going to use it that day, the stock can hang out at room temperature. But if you’re going to store it for later, then you’ll want to cool it as quickly as possible to keep it fresher for longer. Transfer to a wide, shallow container and add a few ice cubes.

Do you cover chicken stock while cooking?

Do you simmer this stock uncovered? A. Yes, but don’t let it simmer too hard (a bare simmer is best) because you don’t want the liquid to reduce too quickly. In fact, if you have the time, you could partly cover the pot with the lid.
