How to make bone broth in a electric pressure cooker…
…such as the Instant Pot, as well as slow cooker tips.
Consider bone broth to be a richer, velvetier broth…
It can be used in recipes that call for stock or broth, but it also makes…
…a delicious and filling soup on its own.
How do you usually like your bone broth?
We love bone broth and make it frequently thanks to our Instant Pot…
…and slow cooker. Bone broth can be made in a pressure cooker in half the time…
…it takes in a slow cooker, but both are excellent options. We’ve included…
…methods for both below; it’s all up to you to figure out…
…what works best for you and your schedule.
Before we continue, let’s hear our friend’s story…
This is Eva’s story…
For a long time, making bone broth has been on my to-do list…
I tried a store-bought carton of bone broth lately and couldn’t stand it; it tasted stale…
I was blown away by how simple it was to create this large amount of beef bone broth…
Finding the meat bones was the only difficult aspect…
These bones were discovered in Albertson’s. I completed one set of knucklebones…
…and one set of neck bones.
Gelatine is the most abundant protein in bone broth. Once in the digestive tract, gelatine is able to bind with water to support the healthy transit of food through the intestines.

Why You Should Make Bone Broth and How to Make It
So, what exactly is bone broth? Bone broth is simply stock…
….that has been cooked for so long that the tendons…
…and connective tissues have dissolved and the bones have become fragile.
More collagen and nutrients dissolve into the broth…
…as a result of the extra long cooking time.
Many people believe it has healing properties for the joints, gut….
…and immune system because of this. We’re not nutritionists…
…so we won’t go into detail, but I can tell you that bone broth has a richer…
…more intense flavor than regular stock or broth.
It’s fantastic as a warm beverage or a light soup…
My favorite additions to mine are fresh pepper, minced ginger, and herbs…
Consider it a savory tea. It’s also a great substitute for stock in soups..
…and because it’s more flavorful, it can make soups and stews…
…even more delicious. It’s fantastic in our Lemony Chicken Vegetable Soup.
Bone broth can be made on the stovetop, but it will take a long time…
…more than 24 hours. We use a pressure cooker or a slow cooker…
…to make it because we can’t commit to standing next to a simmering pot…
…for that long. A pressure cooker takes about 4 hours to cook…
…while a slow cooker takes 24 to 48 hours to cook.
Roast your bones for the richest, most intensely flavored broth…
We simply arrange them on a baking sheet in one layer and roast them…
…until golden brown in a very hot oven. It takes about 30 minutes to complete.
All you have to do in both the pressure cooker and the slow cooker…
…is layer everything into the pot, close the lid, and cook.
When the connective tissues have dissolved and the bones are brittle…
…the broth is done. After that, strain the broth and enjoy it.
It lasts 5 days in the fridge and 3 months or more in the freezer…
Keep going!
Our Favorite Instant Pot or Slow Cooker Bone Broth Recipe
Consider bone broth to be a richer, velvetier stock. In most recipes…
…bone broth and stock can be used interchangeably.
When it comes to enjoying it on its own, we prefer bone broth…
…because it has a stronger flavor. Because bone broth takes longer to cook…
…and contains more collagen and nutrients, many people believe…
…it has healing properties for the joints, gut, and immune system.
We use chicken bones most of the time, but adding pork or beef bones…
…is never a bad idea. Keep in mind that adding beef, pork, or other meat bones…
…to the mix will lengthen the cooking time. This recipe makes a great stock…
…if you’re short on time. Reduce the cook time to 1 hour for general-purpose stock.

Ingredients
- 1–2 lbs organic animal bones (I used chicken in this recipe but beef, duck, bison etc will work. Ask your local butcher for some bones if you don’t have any leftover)
- 2 organic celery stalks, chopped in half
- 1 large organic carrot, chopped into chunks
- 1 medium onion, peeled and chopped in half
- 9–10 cups filtered water (or enough to cover bones)
- salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
- Place the vegetables in a double layer of cheese cloth and tie with cooking thread to form a bundle (see image below)
- Fill the slow cooker halfway with water and apple cider vinegar to cover the bones and veggies.
- Cook for 24 hours on LOW (you can leave for slightly longer or less).
- Skim any “gunk” that has risen to the surface after an hour or so. This is considerably less likely to occur with organic/cleaner meat.
- Remove the top and let aside to cool slightly.
- To separate the bones and vegetable bundle from the liquid, place a strainer over a basin and spoon soup into it.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
How do I store it? I like to freeze half of it and keep the other half for my daily cup…
It lasts about a week in the fridge and several months in the freezer…
If you’re freezing it, take it out of the freezer a few hours before you want…
…to use it to thaw it. If storing in the fridge, you may either remove the layer…
…of fat that will form on top or leave it on and stir it in before cooking..
…in the microwave (it’s good fat!).
Enjoy your bone broth!
Sum Up
Bone broth is not only delicious, but it is also quite healthy…
All of the collagen in the animal bones is broken down…
…and released into the broth while the bones simmer for a very long period…
…providing the broth with an abundance of protein, antioxidants, and amino acids…
…which helps mend your intestinal lining and enhance your immune system.
Bone broth is a natural healer that can ease digestion as well as combat infections…
It has a magical effect on your skin, nails, hair, teeth, and bones!
