1. Put all of the ingredients into the cooking pot
of the Cuisinart
Pressure Cooker. Secure
®
the lid and select Soup. Set the time for 80
minutes. When the audible beep sounds, allow
pressure to release naturally.
2. Once pressure has released completely, the
red indicator will drop. Remove lid and strain
stock through a fine mesh strainer.
3. Cool strained stock to room temperature
before transferring to the refrigerator to
complete the cooling process. When ready to
serve, use a spoon to discard the solid fat that
sits on top of the stock before using. Stock
may be stored for 7 days in the refrigerator
and up to 6 months in the freezer.
NOTE: If time is short, stock can be prepared in
30 minutes – the flavor deepens the longer
it cooks.
