Chicken Stock
Mine always gels but I add the one ingredient that no one has mentioned: one
to two teaspoons of unflavored gelatin. Never fails. Something about mountains and profets coming or going..

Chicken Stock
Gelatinization occurs from the natural pectin present in the bones of the
chicken. I have found that when I use too few bones or too much water or don't reduce enough then I get a less gelled stock. I cannot say that this is a bad thing though. You could try reducing your stock more or waiting until you have more bones. I think adding gelatin would certainly work, but what is the point? The result would be somewhat unnatural and maybe a bit too gel-like with out the accompanying unctuousness. But that is just my 2 cents... -N > wrote in message ... > Mine always gels but I add the one ingredient that no one has mentioned: one > to two teaspoons of unflavored gelatin. > > Never fails. > > Something about mountains and profets coming or going.. > > Someone > > bob wrote: > > > > WOW, that was the funniest most informative post i have read in a while.

Adding gelating is silly and misses the point. To have a stock gel is not desirable in itself, unless you want to make an aspic. Rather, gelling is a sign that the stock was made with the proper qualtity and quality of ingredients and will taste good. It's like a roast being brown - you do not care about the color per se, but a nice brown roast is a sign that it has been cooked properly and will taste good. You can add gelatin to water and have it gel - so what? -- Peter Aitken Remove the crap from my email address before using. |

mis-spoke... was thinking one thing and typed another.
Then again, I am not sure you warrant a response. Are you always this uptight about posts on an internet news group?
