Do you make your own stock or do you cheat a little?

Posted by frederika, February 20, 2008

I always want to make my own stock; it is supremely superior to canned or box o' broth, but I normally don't have the time and often can't get the bones from the butcher. When you make stock, whose recipe/process do you use? I've used several and I've determined the next batch will be Michael Ruhlman's. I used my own stock for the last batch of risotto I made and it was just superb, if I don't say so myself!

There have been comparisons done by CI and FC recently that recommend Swanson as the top preferred commercial broth/stock. I usually get the case of it at Costco to have handy when I don't have homemade. I don't have any big complaints with it, but tried Trader Joe's chix broth in a box and didn't like it one bit.

Any tips you'd like to pass along for making stock?
