Making bone broth in an instant pot electric pressure cooker. We have been trying to be more and more healthy, so we decided to try making bone broth in our instant pot.
Bone broth is a protein-rich sipping broth made from simmering bones and meaty joints in water until they crumble, releasing both minerals and gelatin in the process. Bone broths, broths and stocks are soothing, nutrient-dense additions to the kitchen table, and they’re wonderfully easy and inexpensive to make at home. They’re extraordinarily rich in protein, specifically gelatin and they also contain trace amounts of minerals like calcium and phosphorus.
Making your own bone broth from scratch is easy and economical, but if you don’t have the time or would rather not fuss with simmering bones for hours to make broth, try using an electric pressure cooker. We use the Instant Pot brand cooker. Bone Broths are found in culinary traditions throughout the world.
Preindustrial societies across the globe have always placed particular and special emphasis on the preparation of the whole animal – and that includes emphasis on using bones for making broth. What’s the difference between broth, stock and bone broth? In traditional foods circles you’ll hear a lot about broth, stock and bone broth – and they’re typically used interchangeably.
Bone broth, broth and stock are built on the same basic foundation: water, meat or bones (or both), vegetables and seasonings. As it cooks, the liquid is typically skimmed (although this is not necessary since the foam that rises to the top of the stock pot – off-putting as it is – is rich in protein) and eventually the solids are removed by straining the stock with a fine-mesh sieve or reusable coffee filter.
Why Bone Broths Are Good for You Bone broths are extraordinarily rich in protein, and can be a source of minerals as well. Glycine supports the bodies detoxification process and is used in the synthesis of hemoglobin, bile salts and other naturally-occurring chemicals within the body. Glycine also supports digestion and the secretion of gastric acids. Proline, especially when paired with vitamin C, supports good skin health.
Bone broths are also rich in gelatin which may support skin health. Gelatin also support digestive health which is why it plays a critical role in the GAPS diet. And, lastly, if you’ve ever wondering why chicken soup is good for a cold, there’s science behind that, too. Chicken broth inhibits neutrophil migration; that is, it helps mitigate the side effects of colds, flus and upper respiratory infections! Instant Pot http://amzn.to/2EY3njR
