Layed my hands on 22 pounds of chicken feet to make some lovely
gelatinous stock.

I've got a 20 quart stock pot, and would like to come away with about 2
gallons of good rich stock. I'll be roasting the feet first, for some
extra flavor. . .does anyone know about how many feet to use?

I'd not roast them... It'll dry them out too much.

I personally like to use about 20 feet per gallon.

Hmm, that seems like a lotta feet, yards of em. My grandmothger would
add the feet to her chicken stock. She'd use a whole stewing fowl, it
only had two feet. I can't imagine making stock from jsut feet. What
is the equivalent in emu feet? Not that I know of any emus around
here, just curious... I wonder how emu stock would compare.

Well, I've made emu stock, and it used 3 emu feet per gallon. Great
results. Boiled up nicely, and give the emu feet the highest rating.
.. . .would trade again.

Ugh. I love chicken and duck feet, but when we tried doing emu feet,
they just had a wierd taste and smell to them! Was unable to eat them...
They tasted kinda like the emu smelled when we were butchering it.
Like the odor from it's anal glands.

How did you get around that? I never did emu feet again after that!
Now I roast them and turn them into dog chewies. ;-)

Emu bone stock OTHO is the gods... :-d
So is emu jerky.

I'll use 20 to 30 chicken feet per pot and my pressure cooker I think is
a 6 Liter/Quart.
