Over on the IDS thrad
I smoked two trays of CkDrums, for the purposes of making CkJell Stock :
6 legs , in the 6 qt iPot
water to allmost cover ( 6 cups )
after 1 HR HP . I immediately release . it save time as this will be a 3 X stock . Ive discovered w past sessions , using quick release
the steam lost equals about 1 cup of water from the iPot. this concentrates the stock , ' seamlessly ' w no extra work
I hand mash the legs , getting to a state of muscle strands . I iPot 30 min more , HP . the solids are removed and jus pressed
out via a hand potato ricer . this was done three times ( 3 X ) .
the last session , above.
the stock was strained to remove any remaining strand , cooled in the sink
then added to my Brick-Maker containers
a little over 4 cups 3 X stock. I refrigerated the three containers over night . later today Ill place them in the freezer for 15 minutes or so
facilitating the removal of the fat , then overnight again in the freezer , then vac the bricks and keep in the freezer for future use.
I open the Vac'd bag , quickly remove the CkJell I plan to use , and re-seal in the chamber vac the same bag.
works quite well.
