Hello:

What's the difference?

I thought (think?) that stock is boiled down broth.

As a pastry chef you probably don't run into this often.

- speaking of running -

Oh exy exy exy. Here I am to bail out you again. Broth is what they call the stuff you buy. Campbell's put out beef broth and chicken broth. Stock is what y ou make from scratch by saving all your chicken bones, turkey bones (the carcasses) in the freezer and simmering them for a long period with some onions, garlic, etc. Then you strain everything and keep the stock, which can be frozen to use for a later time in soups and gravies.

I thought stock was the water from when you boiled meat in it?

That's what my mum and grandma always told me

Hello tick and Judy:

You girls fight it out and let me know what it is.

I THOUGHT it's what Judy said. Then I read where Julia said broth is what you buy. Soooo, I don't know.

I've never made a stock, though. I think I'm going to try it - if I can figure out what it is...

I am working on some reply referring to how much money I lost in the STOCK market. So far nothing is coming to me so fill in your own joke here: _____________________________.

PS - You forgot to include the line "Just a quick question" which seems very popular these days.

Well, julia and I are correct, exy. Broth is what you buy, as I said, stock is what you make yourself.

I may get angry with you for doubting me. The next time you bake a chicken or a turkey, clean off the bones and put them in a big pot covered with water and simmer the bejesus out of them. The bones have most of the flavour. I wouldn't say this if I didn't know how to cook, exy.

Now tell me why I shouldn't get mad at you.

:rolleyes: tick

No, no, no. Stock is boiled down so it's stronger than broth. I personally called Julia and she admitted she was wrong.

Oh, wait, that's impossible.

Never mind.

:rolleyes: tick

Sounds right to me, meant bones and meat when I said my thing

If you are in Canada or the UK I will think you and Tick are conspiring against me.

(What dress did you end up choosing?)

Now tell me why I shouldnt get mad at you.Hello again, tick:

I'll NEVER doubt you again. I'm STILL enjoying YOUR chicken ala king. You DO know how to cook.

That's why you shouldn't be mad at me. I don't care about that Judy chick. She can't cook.

Uh, oh. I'm in trouble.

excon

Hello again, tick:

I'll NEVER doubt you again. I'm STILL enjoying YOUR chicken ala king. You DO know how to cook.


excon

See, I told you so. I would never steer you wrong, exy. I am not mad at you now.



:D tick

Was that to me Judy?

Are we having fun yet ?

Yes, the dress comment is to you.

So, Tick, your freezer is full of... carcasses?

A pink one, I keep trying to post pictures but it won't post

Keep trying to post - I'd like to see it.

I will

Stock is made from bones
Broth is made from parts
:D

If your going to make it, simmer slow and DON'T stir. Let it cool and skim the fat off or just refrigerate and skim it off.
I stirred it one time and all the fat went back into the stock and never floated to the top. I had to toss it.
I must have been on a stirring frenzy.

Yes, the dress comment is to you.

**laughing*** (I hate LOL !) no, actually, I made a pot of soup last night. Now I have to accumulate again.
