I am starting to post videos now! After a wonderful conference event led by Savings.com at DealPro, I have been persuaded to start making videos with my bright, shiny red Savings.com flip camera. So I’m off and running! This video talks about how not to waste the precious ingredients you have that are perfectly ready to become vegetable stock! As I post this, I’m aware of how – in years to come – I will probably think this video was so amateur it was ridiculous. But, suffice it to say, there is a good, short message about making your own vegetable stock!
If you have a moment – make sure to drop a line and tell me what you think! I’m so nervous!!!
Looks good. You have a great speaking voice (-:
Anytime I boil a chicken, I do toss in veggies to make chicken stock that I can for making soups later. However, I have never used vegetable water. What a great idea!
You did a great job with your first video, keep it up!
I freeze all my veggie trimings, celery leaves and butts, potato peels, the ends of carrots onion tops and bottoms etc. when I have a gallon freezer zip bag full I boil them all together with light seasoning, salt, pepper, garlic and a bay leaf then strain the broth and freeze it in pint containers. I do the same with bones, beef, tukey, pork to make different bases.
Thanks John for the kind words! I’m filming more, so hopefully things will go up from here on out;)
Two questions:
- how long can you keep the trimmings frozen for? do you blanche them before freezing or just put them as in in a bag?
Great job, and great video, show us more, you can also use this veggie broth to give your dog a nice shiny coat. My son’s music teacher had a black lab with a beautiful shiny coat. She said she always poured this water from the veggies over her dog’s food. This is, of course, if you are not going to use it yourself.
Great idea, thanks. I always used old veges for stock, but never thought of using the water. Should be a nice flavor boost for rice.
Wow! Pouring over a dog’s food;) Seems like it says something about how healthy it is for humans, right?
Definitely a subtle way to boost the rice flavor – and saves water;)
