  2. I learned that just bones can give off some pretty good flavors and the degreasing part was pretty cool when u take a paper towel and rub across the top to take some of the fat off hot stocks.

  3. That there are only 4 essential parts in making a flavorful stock and that different stocks are made with different types of bone to create the color and taste.

  4. I had heard of stock quite a bit before, but I had never really made it. I knew that you used bones or meat for it, but now I've found that bones are the more frequent choice. I did not know that mirepoix was used in it, and I did not know that it turned into meat jello when chilled. All-in-all it was a fun unit

  5. I found it interesting when the consommé cooled enough and turned into like a jello type dish. I brought some home and it wasn't half bad. Unexpectedly, I didn't know how good that raft tasted! We seared it and added it to some bread!
