Putting up stock

cameraman · 09-03-2012, 08:50 AM

I made some stock yesterday from the remnants of my smoked leg qtrs. I'd like to vacusuck it. Last time I poured it in bags, stood the bags up in containers to freeze then vacusucked. I ended up with big lumps of stock. Any thoughts on how I can get a thinner, more, freezer friendly finished bag?

You could put it in zip lock bags and lay them flat
Some folks put them in ice cube trays till frozen.
You have anything else flat and thin, but bigger then an ice cube tray?
Oh - how about making some forms out of aluminium foil??

You know, zip locks are not a bad idea.

I refrigerate stock overnight and the proteins form a loose gelatinous goo which keeps control of the liquid when vac sealing. Once sealed you can lay flat in the freezer.
