Hello:

What's the difference?

excon

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.

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?)

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.

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?

Stock is made from bones
Broth is made from parts

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.
