STOP! Before you pick up the box of processed chicken broth, consider this 30 minute recipe.
Instant Pot has made homemade chicken stock/soup possible in only 30 minutes. What used to take 3 to 4 hours now only takes a fraction of that time.
I purchased the pot thinking it was another gadget and was amazed when I opened the lid after a very brief cook session to see bubbly, golden, and fragrant stock. It was full flavored and ready to be turned into soup or added to braised dishes. The stock was not as clear as that which is made stovetop (due to blanching and rinsing technique but not possible in a pressure cooker), but was certainly acceptable.
I am a believer in this game changer piece of kitchen equipment.
