PRESSURE COOKER BONE BROTH OR CHICKEN STOCK



Pressure Cooker Bone Broth or Chicken Stock image

The difference between bone broth and regular broth, or stock, comes down to the length of the cooking time and the addition of acid to the cooking liquid. They taste very similar, though the bone broth has a slightly more intense flavor and a thicker, silkier texture. They can be used interchangeably in recipes. Really, the main difference is that many people consider bone broth to be therapeutic: The longer cooking time of a bone broth allows the collagen and minerals from the bones and connective tissue to dissolve into the liquid. This is one of 10 recipes from Melissa Clark's "Dinner in an Instant: 75 Modern Recipes for Your Pressure Cooker, Multicooker, and Instant Pot" (Clarkson Potter, 2017).

Time 1h

Yield 3 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 pounds bones, preferably a mix of meaty bones and marrow-filled bones
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons coarse sea salt, or to taste
1 to 2 celery stalks
1 large carrot
1 large onion, 2 leeks, or a bunch of leek greens
1 whole clove or star anise pod
2 to 6 garlic cloves
5 to 7 sprigs fresh thyme or dill
5 to 7 sprigs fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 to 4 1-inch-thick coins peeled fresh ginger (optional)

Steps:

  • If you want to roast the bones first, heat the oven to 450ºF. Lay the bones out on a rimmed baking sheet and roast until well browned, 25 to 35 minutes.
  • Put the bones (roasted or not) in the pressure cooker pot and add all the remaining ingredients. Cover with 3 to 3 1/2 quarts of water (the water shouldn't come more than two-thirds of the way up the side of the pot). To make regular stock, cook on high pressure for 1 hour if using all chicken or poultry bones, or 2 hours for beef or pork bones or a combination of poultry and meat. For bone broth, cook on high pressure for 3 hours for poultry bones, and 4 1/2 hours for beef, pork, or mixed bones. When making bone broth, you'll know you've cooked it long enough if all the connective tissue, tendons, and cartilage have dissolved and the bones crumble a bit when you poke at them. If this hasn't happened, cook it on high pressure for another 30 minutes and check it again.
  • Allow the pressure to release naturally. Use the broth or stock right away, or store it in the refrigerator or freezer. Bone broth and regular stock will keep for 5 days refrigerated or up to 6 months frozen.

PRESSURE-COOKER CHICKEN STOCK



Pressure-Cooker Chicken Stock image

Pressure cookers reduce cooking time by as much as two-thirds without ruining the food's nutritional value -- making them ideal for a long-cooking stock. This recipe is adapted from "The Pressured Cook" by Lorna Sass.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Yield Makes about 2 1/2 quarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

5 pounds chicken parts (wings, backs, legs, and necks), rinsed
10 cups water
2 large carrots, scrubbed or peeled, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large ribs celery, cut into 1-inch pieces
2 large onions, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces
1 dried bay leaf
1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

Steps:

  • Place chicken and water in an 8 1/2-quart stove-top pressure cooker and bring to a boil over medium-high. Using a ladle, skim impurities and fat that rise to the top. Add vegetables, bay leaf, and peppercorns.
  • Lock the lid in place. Over high heat, bring to high pressure. Lower the heat just enough to maintain high pressure and cook for 30 minutes. If time permits, let the pressure decrease naturally, about 20 minutes. Otherwise, quick-release the pressure by setting the cooker under cold running water.
  • Remove the lid, tilting it away from you to allow any excess steam to escape. Allow stock to cool slightly. Strain through cheesecloth set over a fine-mesh sieve. Skim off fat if using immediately, or let cool completely (in an ice-water bath, if desired) before transferring to airtight containers. Refrigerate at least 8 hours to allow the fat to accumulate at the top; lift off and discard fat before using or storing stock.

PRESSURE COOKER CHICKEN LASAGNE



Pressure Cooker Chicken Lasagne image

This recipe uses my Recipe #195716 "Pressure Cooker Chicken Fillets, Basis for Savory Pies Etc" up to Step 9 as a basis for preparing the chicken. That means that you have before you a heap of yummy chicken, stock and mushy herby veggies and can now make your lasagna... This recipe contains no cans of "cream of..." soups, or milk or cream in the sauce and is one that whips up in next to no time because most of the work has been done while in the preparation of the chicken stage. No boil lasagne noodles here in The Netherlands come in (dry weight) packets of 250g (8.8 oz) and there are 30 small sheets to a package.. I use about 80% of a packet to make this. ZWT REGION: Italy.

PRESSURE COOKER DARK ROASTED CHICKEN STOCK RECIPE - (4.1/5)



Pressure Cooker Dark Roasted Chicken Stock Recipe - (4.1/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 12

HERBS:
2 pounds chicken wings (or a combo of drumsticks and or thighs)
2 stalks celery
1 onion (just cut into quarters and don't worry about peeling)
2 carrots (no need to peel)
2 cloves garlic (unpeeled)
2 teaspoons whole peppercorns (I put mine into a tea "ball" to easily remove)
Olive oil
Salt & pepper
Small bunch of fresh parsley (about 1 dozen stalks)
2 bay leaves
NOTE: I don't add salt to my chicken broth until I actually use it. That way, I can control the seasoning if I use it within a recipe.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400°F. Season chicken with salt and pepper. Place into a roasting pan and add vegetables, onion and garlic. Drizzle with olive oil, and mix with hands to coat. Roast for approximately 45 minutes, until everything has achieved a dark color. If you don't own a pressure cooker (buy one!) then simmer this on a stove top for about an 90 minutes. If using a pressure cooker: Pour in 8 cups of water into the pot. Add all the roasted chicken and vegetables into the pot. Add the bay leaves and fresh parsley. Lock on the lid, and pressure cook on HIGH for 35 minutes (or use the SOUP button). When the PC beeps, do a quick pressure release. Carefully strain the broth. The broth can be frozen for future use. See my recipe, on Key Ingredient, for "Grießnockerlsuppe (Semolina Dumpling Soup)" http://www.keyingredient.com/recipes/3014865032/grienockerlsuppe-semolina-dumpling-soup/ to see how I made the dumplings.

Categories     Healthy Chicken Breasts

Time 40m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 pound skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
1 pound skinless, boneless chicken thighs
2 medium carrots, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
1 cup diced onion
4 stalks celery, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon multi-colored whole peppercorns
¼ cup white wine
4 cups water, or as needed

Steps:

Add water, 1 cup at a time, until it covers the chicken by at least 1/2 inch, but no more than 1 inch. You may not need all the water or you may need more; this will depend on your pressure cooker dimensions.
  • Secure the lid and heat over medium-high heat until the first whistle sounds. Put 10 minutes on a timer and wait.

Tips:

  • Choose the right chicken: For a richer broth, use a whole chicken or chicken parts with bones. Avoid using boneless, skinless chicken breasts, as they will produce a bland broth.
  • Roast the chicken bones: Roasting the chicken bones before adding them to the pressure cooker will add a deeper flavor to the broth.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in your broth. Some good options include carrots, celery, onions, garlic, leeks, and turnips.
  • Add herbs and spices: Season your broth with your favorite herbs and spices. Some good options include parsley, thyme, rosemary, sage, bay leaves, peppercorns, and cloves.
  • Don't overcrowd the pressure cooker: Make sure to leave enough space in the pressure cooker for the liquid to circulate. If you overcrowd the pressure cooker, the broth will not be as flavorful.
  • Cook the broth for the right amount of time: The cooking time will vary depending on the type of chicken and vegetables you are using. However, a good rule of thumb is to cook the broth for at least 30 minutes.
  • Strain the broth: Once the broth is cooked, strain it through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any solids. You can then use the broth immediately or store it in the refrigerator for later use.

Conclusion:

Homemade chicken broth is a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is also a great way to use up leftover chicken bones and vegetables. By following the tips in this article, you can make a delicious and flavorful chicken broth that your family and friends will love.
