Same here, with 8 pounds of steer femur waiting to be roasted, simmered, skimmed and made ultra delectable this frosty weekend; ain't no comparison to any ready-made I've ever tasted
It's a great winter endeavor

While I've certainly used store-bought broth in an emergency, Jim there IS a big difference between them. Do you ever do dinner at fine dining restaurants? You simply cannot replicate their sauces without the demi glace, etc. they prepare. I really wish you'd stop trying to defend CI for everything. They're fine for what they are, but they are NOT anywhere near a fine dining experience. Amy |

Agreed... This might just be one of those times to "just listen" http://vimeo.com/66753575 |

Amy understands. There is no substitute for Bruce Naftaly's incredible veal stock. 10 pounds of split knuckles to 1 quart of perfection. This kitchen sneaks in a second and third run. tim |

I make homemade when I bones etc. for use in sauces but cut it half with storebought for chicken noodle soup. Mine has more mouthfeel but with 2 teens (technically 1 won't be a teen for 6 more days) I just would not be able to keep up. I noticed a huge diffference when I started making CI's tacos, chicken francese and chicken with sage & vermouth sauce with homemade versus the boxed stuff. I don't make beef, not worth it for the little I use it for and the cost needed to make it. I did add veal bones once to my chicken stock and the gelatin added was unbelievable. Must make a trip back to that butcher to see if I can get more. |

I actually find that commercial chicken stock is just better in some things (and I say this as a devoted chicken broth maker, storer, and consumer who currently has no less than 6lbs of roasted carcasses and several quarts of stock in my freezer). I have not tried CI's ground beef trick, but I have no doubt that it works. If I am going to bother with anything other than Bovril though, I'll use the pressure cooker and then make sure to use it for something special, like French onion soup. |

But I would never equate a stock made with commercial "stock," ground meat and gelatin as equivalent to a bone-based stock. I won't argue the shortcut, I just don't like when people espouse a shortcut that doesn't produce an identical or superior product as equivalent. Amy |

Amy If you believe that my post said THAT, you seriously misread my intent. I found your response demeaning, insulting, and downright mean. Is that what you intended? |
