    It makes lovely gravy and soups, but I can't always be bothered waiting around that long.

    I eat bone broth most days, and when I don't I supplement with a collagen powder in my coffee in the morning. I usually just heat some up and drink it from a mug around noon. I usually make some broth once a week, and if I run out I buy more from my specialty meat butcher (I've found it much cheaper to make it myself). :)

    Make it in the pressure cooker takes 2 hours
    Have too much fat even skimming the fat off it leaves it greasy but i use large fatty bones with a bit of meat like beef lamb or goat
    I use a lot of spices and make a jelly like stew but its very fatty and i dont know what to do with the excess fat dont want to eat it and am just freezing it for now to throw away later

    It is also very low calorie and delicious so I can see it helping you reach your defecit

    But there are rational adults who believe it erases wrinkles?

    Its based off the idea that vinegar or lemon acid breaks down the bone's vitamin richness and collagen ligaments. Highly concentrated nutrient elixir. You are to use only animals that were pasture raised for the extra clean benefits. If its easy enough to get, why not try it. Couldn't hurt unless the acid levels tear down the enamel on your teeth.

    Pressure cooker makes excellent broth. If just skimming off the fat that rises to the surface doesn't remove enough for your taste, chill the whole thing in the refrigerator until the fat solidifies on top, then easily remove.

    With or without a pressure cooker just cool overnight and skim the fat off. Some people save the fat for cooking.

    This. Also, use pasture raised animals for "extra clean benefits"? I'd love to know what benefits I get from drinking the broth of bones of animals that were pasture raised vs not. How are they "cleaner"?

    The bulletproof guy isn't exactly the picture of health himself. I don't believe there's any benefit.

    Isn't bone broth just stock? I haven't/won't click the link to read about magical claims but I always thought boiling bones gives you stock. ...which is used in lots of every day things. ?

    I've been using "bone broth" in cooking for years because homemade stock/broth is economical and tastes better than the watery commercial stuff. It's good, nutrious food, but it's not magic.

    Back in my day, "bone broth" was just "soup stock." My grandma made and drank a lot of it but definitely had wrinkles...

    I don't mean to poke fun, but the bone broth fad cracks me up. Carcasses have been used to make stock since the dawn of man. Calling it "Bone Broth" instead of "Stock" doesn't make it a magical super food.

    Yes it is and yes it does. You aren't missing anything. It's the silliest thing I've seen people fall for in a while.

    The sad thing is...I don't think it even makes my top ten

    I save chicken bones and make a big batch of bone broth/stock. Then I portion it out into smaller batches to freeze and use those to make different soups. (I didn't read the article, just answering the subject question)

    I make my own stock......... Sorry bone broth! Because I'm too tight to buy decent jellied stock.

    It has been done this way for centuries so I doubt the tiny amount of collagen in it now is any better than it has always been. I can't believe what some people will pay a fortune for.

    Oh wait, I can believe it.

    It's not even broth. It's stock.

    (Broth = made from meat, stock = made from bones)

    I never knew this was a "thing" until this forum. I do it because why buy broth for soups when i roasted a chicken/other bone in meat yesterday. Every meat and bone scrap I get gets tossed into my slow cooker with a splash of vinegar and then covered in water and cooked for 24-48hrs. Makes the best soups! I either make huge pots of it for my fam or freeze in tiny portions so I can make single serve veggie or egg drop soups on the quick!

    I make a traditional stock. I've tried to make bone broth twice and it was revolting, IMO -- a waste of perfectly good stock bones.
