Guest Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 i don't have all the bits to make a stock just now so wanted to freeze the carcass to make a stock another day. Is it safe to do this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I can't see why not (but I'm no expert ). It would keep in the fridge for a few days if you can get the stuff you need soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We do that with chicken and other meat bones, then when we have the time and inclination we make stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 It will be fine frozen - just squash it as much as you can so that it takes up less space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kannie Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Yes its fine. You can also roast the carcass to give the stock extra flavour (Hugh's recommendation). Hugh even recommends roasting the bones off people's plates, and then putting them in the stock pot too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eyren Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Good idea on the freezing - we never seem to get round to making stock, which is a tragic waste, especially with an expensive Label Anglais chicken! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura & CTB Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I made my first ever batch of chicken stock yesterday (I feel so proud ) can someone let me know how long I can freeze it for please? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chickencam Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think because you will boil it when it is used it can be frozen for a long time. Mine don't usually last long because I love soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
