It seems like that step just speeds up the cooling-down process? I do let everything cool to room temp before putting it in the freezer though; I set the lids on top but don't seal them during this process. I am guessing if you lived in an environment where there was a lot of bacteria or yeast or mold spores and were worried about contamination during the process of cooling down, or you were just done with waiting around, you could speed things up. But I've never had a problem with my stock without the ice bath step. You should come to my soup exchange this year! I'll keep you posted. (You make 6 qts. of soup, divided into qt. size containers, and in the end you go home with 6 different types of soup!)Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886431295755401891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1360342319725894867.post-75330135399643725512010-12-03T08:47:08.378-05:002010-12-03T08:47:08.378-05:00That is a good idea Nissa!

That way I can set the timer and don't have to necessarily stay home while it simmers.

Basically, I put aside all the trimmings from every vegetable that went into a Thanksgiving dish (onion skins, ends of carrots and leeks, potato and apple skins, etc.). It was cool enough to store everything in a pot outside until I was ready to utilize the turkey bones to make the stock. Then I just had to add water and simmer.Karenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12886431295755401891noreply@blogger.com
