Red Seal Cook

Category - Stocks and Soups

You’ve just finished making a brown stock and it’s cloudy. What is the reason behind this?
  1. Stock was not cooked long enough
  2. Stock was brought to a boil
  3. Stock was improperly strained
  4. All of the above
Explanation
Answer: B- Cloudy stock is almost always caused by a stock that has been brought to a boil, as it agitates the bones and mirepoix and causes particles to release into the liquid. Stock must be started in cold water, and should be left undisturbed while simmering, aside from skimming impurities.
