Pro tip to make your perfect homemade bone broth in the instant pot or slow cooker

you’ll need about one pound per quart of water or five pounds total for a slow cooker that should be filled up halfway. If you’re using an instant pot, it’s enough to fill up half of the container with water, bones, spices and vegetables and cook on high pressure for 45 minutes to an hour depending how big your pot and how much broth you have in your instant pot.

You’ll also want to add these vegetables: carrots, celery stalks (with leaves), peeled onion quarters, garlic.

How to get started?

• Roast your bones first. Roasting bones caramelizes their proteins and releases some fat. And that means a richer and more robust flavor for you.

• Roast your vegetables with the roasted bones, roasting your vegetables with the roasted bones will give a wonderful flavor to your broth. Once you’ve caramelized the bones, then add in the chopped veggies!

• Adding wine to your bone broth not only adds a touch of acidity, but also balances the flavors and gives it an interesting flavor.

• Use enough water to just cover the bones, If you want a broth with the perfect balance of gel and protein, use just enough water to cover your bones. Bone broths are known for their high-protein content because they tend to use less water than other types like meat or traditional stocks!

• A good broth has to be clear. The best way to achieve this is by removing any foam or scum that rises up while your broth starts cooking the bones and vegetables for several hours in water.

Kitchen tools you’ll need

• Baking Sheet & Rack Set (3 Sheets & 3 Racks)
• Oster French Convection Countertop
•  Stainless Steel Stock Pot
• Instant Pot Duo 7-in-1

What after your bone broth is finished?

Let the broth settle for a while and spoon off any fat that floats to the surface. Or pour it into your fridge, because as it cools down more of its fat will rise to form coagulating lumps on top which you can just lift off with a fork before eating.
