I've long used the "boil the hell out of it" method when I forget to soak my beans overnight. <BR/><BR/>I swore off instant and powdered bullion a while ago and instead have been using the stuff that comes in cartons or cans. <BR/><BR/>So what's the trick to making chicken (or beef) stock? Is it just a subset of the chicken soup recipe? Also please mention recommended storage methods (freezing, canning, etc.)Science Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00356207452662798612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187540964243491497.post-41644575029889871662009-03-05T17:11:00.000-05:002009-03-05T17:11:00.000-05:00Blog amended to say "minimally processed, naturall...Blog amended to say "minimally processed, naturally smoked" slab bacon. In general, slab bacon is cured without as much bad stuff (i.e., nitrates/nitrites, artificial smoke flavor, high fructose corn syrup, etc.). <BR/><BR/>Good question, and thanks for keeping me honest!christocchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06982656024318485219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1187540964243491497.post-37263850889299883402009-03-05T15:42:00.000-05:002009-03-05T15:42:00.000-05:00Yummy!

Does it have less of the bad stuff?kcchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17317103599336820778noreply@blogger.com
