I've been making beef broth regularly but last night I forgot to turn my crock pot to low and the bones boiled all night. Does anyone know if this is ok or should I toss the broth And start over? I've read somewhere that after your stock reaches a boil it then should be simmered not boiled!!!



Best Answer

Ideally it is simmered, but the proof is in the taste really as there's no safety issue. If it tastes good then use it, if it doesn't chuck it.

Quick Answer about "Was my bone marrow broth boiled too long?"

Simmer Your Bones Long Enough, But Not Too Long Yet, if you cook your broth too long, it will develop overcooked, off-flavors that can become particularly unpleasant if you've added vegetables to the broth pot which tend to break down, tasting at once bitter and overly sweet.

Can you overcook bone marrow?

The marrow should be hot, with a soft and jelly-like consistency, but not liquid. Cook another five minutes if needed, but do not overcook, since the fat will liquefy and leak from the bones.

How long should bone marrow boil for?

Rinse the bones, then place in a large pot. Cover with water by 2 inches and bring to a slow boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, skimming off any rising grey foam.

How long should bone broth boil?

Cook for at least 10-12 hours, or until reduced by 1/3 or 1/2, leaving you with 6-8 cups of bone broth. The more it reduces, the more intense the flavor becomes and the more collagen is extracted. We find 12 hours to be the perfect cook time.

What happens if you boil bone broth?

Boiled stock will be cloudy, greasy and have a lower yield. To avoid that, start with cold water and your bones (or veggies, if you're going vegetarian) and put over high heat.
