Kitchen Quick Tips - Cooling Stocks for Defatting
Meat stocks are best prepared with the fat for flavour then defatted for freezing or canning. Strain the stock to remove solids. Allow to come to room temperature then place the stock pot in in the sink on a bed of ice. Surround the stock pot with ice. Once cooled, peel off the layer of fat. Strain again then proceed with canning or freezing.
