My crock pot arrives tomorrow.
A few of the bone broth recipes I was looking at has apple cider vinegar as an ingredient. Saw a few that had these two steps:
roasting the bones - 425-450 degrees Fahrenheit roast your bones for about 15 minutes.
blanching the bones - cover with cold water, and boil them for about 20 min

I start with making sure the water is almost to the top of the crockpot at the start. I then check and maybe add some more water before I go to bed.
Btw, while I usually cook my bones in the crockpot for around 48 hours, if it's just chicken bones, I only cook them for 24 hours.
I always add a generous splash of ACV or fresh lemon juice at the start as this helps to extract the minerals from the bones.
Some recipes do say to roast raw bones first as it's supposed to improve flavour, but it's entirely up to you if you want to do that. I do occasionally but not every time and I can't say I notice any difference either way.
I don't see the need to blanch the bones, though others here may disagree.
I just put everything into the crockpot, turn it on (the low setting) and let it do its magic. |
