FAQ
Frequently asked questions.
How long should I boil beef bones for stock?
For maximum nutrient extraction, simmer for at least 12 to 24 hours.
Can I reuse beef bones?
Yes, you can reuse them for a second, weaker stock (remouillage), but the nutrients will be significantly lower.
What is the difference between marrow bones and knuckle bones?
Marrow bones are straight and contain fatty marrow; knuckle bones contain more collagen and connective tissue.
Are beef bones safe for dogs?
Raw beef bones are generally safe, but cooked bones can splinter and should be avoided.
How do I know if the bones are fresh?
Fresh bones should have a clean, neutral smell and any remaining meat should be bright red.
Can I freeze beef bones?
Yes, they freeze exceptionally well for up to 6 months in airtight packaging.
Do beef bones contain calories?
The bones themselves are not eaten, but the marrow and connective tissue provide about 240 calories per 100g.
What can I substitute for beef bones?
Veal bones are the best substitute, or you can use high-quality store-bought beef base.
Is bone broth the same as stock?
Bone broth is essentially stock that has been simmered for a much longer period to extract collagen.
Where can I buy beef bones?
You can find them at local butcher shops, the meat counter of most grocery stores, or ethnic markets.
