Is Homemade Meat Stock Really Better Than Store Bought?

In this episode, I have a go at cooking up a meatstock from scratch. Ata lilo and stock cube feature heavily in many Nigerian recipes. Is it worth making and meat stock from scratch to improve the taste of these recipes or should you just stick to a good old Maggi or Knorr stock cube or shop bought broth? What do you guys reckon? Basic cooking outline Roast chicken carcass for 1 hour at 200 degree celcius. Place all all chicken bits in a pressure cooker with onion and garlic scrap. Add water to level of just covering content of pot. Cover pot, bring to pressure, lower heat and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. Open and salt to taste (Although it's always better to reserve adding salt until you make use of the stock in preparing another dish). My opinion: The homemade stock was much richer and complex in flavour. If you often have carcass or boil meats and you want to make a dish where the liquid is a main feature then it is worth making your own stock. If the stock is merely to provide flavour and it's not the main feature I don't think I would bother to use a stock made from scratch. ________________________________________________________________________________________ It's been 8 years since my last post. Time for a relaunch. Challenge is to complete what I started with a 6 month series in which I hope to answer these questions. What makes Nigerian food Nigerian food? Why have certain techniques been developed? Are there techniques to make the process of some food preparation easier? Are there techniques to make the food taste even more awesome? I'm not a chef so I'm looking to find answers through the process of getting in the kitchen and cooking, as well as travelling and eating in order to compare and contrast foods and cooking techniques from other cultures. Lastly I'm hoping to learn from all of you guys whether you are expert in Nigerian cuisine or just like eating food. Don't forget to subscribe.
