Preparing Brown Stocks

(a) Roast the bones in a moderately hot oven until well

browned.

b) Place the bones in a stockpot and add the appropriate amount of water.

c) While the bones are beginning to simmer, brown the

mirepoix, using the same roastingpan set on top of the stove

or in the oven. Add the browned mirepoix to the stockpot.

(d) Deglaze the roasting pan with water. Add the liquid to the stockpot.

(e) This stock has simmered slowly for 8 hours. Note that

the sachet is tied to the

handle of the pot with twine for easy removal.

(f) Strain the stock through a china cap lined with cheesecloth.

White Stock Recipe :

No. White Stock Preparation

1

Place

the bones in

a stock pot

and cover

with cold

water.

1. Cut the bones into

pieces, 3 to 4

inches (8 to 10 cm)

long.

2. This exposes more

surface area and

helps extraction.

A meat saw is used

to cut heavy veal

and beef

bones. Fish and chic

ken bones don’t need

to be cut, but whole

carcasses should be

chopped for more

convenient handling.

3. Place the bones in a

stockpot or steam-

jacketed kettle and

add cold water to

cover.Starting in

cold water speeds

extraction. Starting

in hot water delays

it because many

Skim

the scum from

the surface

regularly.

1. Bring water to

a boil, and then

reduce to a simmer.

Skim the scum that

comes to the surface

,using a skimmeror

perforated spoon.

2. Skimming is

important for a

clear stock because

the scum (which is

fat and coagulated

protein)will cloud

the stock if it is

broken up and mixed

back into the

liquid.

3

Add white

mirepoix to

the pot.

1. Add the chopped

mirepoix and the

herbs and spices.

Remember,the size to

which you cut

mirepoix depends on

how long it is

2. Do not let the stock

boil. Keep it at a

low simmer.

Boiling makes the

stock cloudy because

it breaks solids

into tiny particles

that get mixed into

the liquid.to be

cooked.

4

Add a sachet

d’épices.

Tying the

sachet to

the pot handle

enables it to

be retrieved

whenever

necessary.

1. Skim the surface as

often as necessary

during cooking.

2. Keep the water level

above the bones.Add

more water if the

stock reduces below

this level. Bones

cooked while exposed

to air will turn

dark and thus darken

or discolor the

stock. Also, they do

not release flavor

into the water if

the water doesn’t

touch them.

Preparing White Stock

1. Simmer for the recommended length of time:

- Beef bones—8 to 10 hours Chicken bones—3 to 4 hours

- Veal bones—6 to 8 hours Fish bones—30 to 45 minutes

2. Skim the surface and strain off the stock through a

china cap lined with several layers of cheesecloth.

Adding a little cold water to the stock before skimming

stops the cooking and brings more fat and impurities to

the surface.

3. Cool the stock as quickly as possible, as follows:

Set the pot in a sink with blocks, a rack, or some

other object under it. This is called venting.

4. It allows cold water to flow under the pot as well as

around it.

5. Run cold water into the sink, but not higher than the

level of the stock, or the pot will become unsteady. An

overflow pipe keeps the water level right and allows

for constant circulation of cold water

6. Stir the pot occasionally so all the stock cools

evenly. Hang a ladle in the pot so you can give it a

quick stir whenever you pass the sink without actually

taking extra time to do it. Cooling stock quickly and

properly is important. Improperly cooled stock can

spoil in 6 to 8 hours because it is a good breeding

ground for bacteria that cause food-borne disease and

spoilage.

7. Do not set the hot stock in the walk-in or, worse yet,

the reach-in. All that heat and steam

will overload the refrigerator and may damage other

perishables as well as the equipment.Refer to food

safety guidelines for cooling on page 30.

8. When cool, refrigerate the stock in covered containers.

Stock will keep 2 to 3 days if properly refrigerated.

Stock can also be frozen and will keep for several

months.

Potato :

So much of what goes into making the perfect French fries

has to do with ensuring that the center of the fries are

fully cooked before the outsides get too brown. The way we

achieve that is by cooking the fries twice. We'll describe

the technique below, but first let's talk about what kind of

potatoes to use.

High starch potatoes like Idaho potatoes (also called Russet

potatoes) are best because they're denser and have the least

amount of moisture in them. Waxy potatoes will actually

hollow out when you fry them, because they have more water

in them and the water evaporates while they cook.

As soon as you cut the fries, you're going to transfer them

to a bowl of cold water with a tablespoon of lemon juice

added. Cut potatoes will start to discolor if they're

exposed to oxygen for too long even if they're in water.

There's oxygen in water, after all.But a little bit of acid

in the water helps keep the potatoes nice and white.

French Fries

Ingredient:

Potato

Salt and pepper

Cooking oil

Method ;

1. Peel the potatoes, and remove any eyes.

2. Cut each slab into ¼-inch strips. The fries should be

about 3 inches long. Transfer them to the cold water as

you go.

3. When the fries are cut, rinse them under cold water into

the bowl until the water turns clear. The idea is to

rinse off any excess starch.

4. Heat the cooking oil in a pot.

5. When oil are ready hot,deep fry the French fries.

6. Toast it,then seasoning with salt ang pepper.
