Why do Americans buy pre-made chicken stock? Even rich cooking youtubers. It probably tastes fake, why can't they make their own?

Americans pour it through a collinder straight down the sink and wonder where it all went

Don't really want to spend all day when I could just buy it and there's no discernible difference

>>211942940
It forms naturally when you cook meat. Or do you use it in meatless dishes?

>>211943035
Oh you're retarded. That's cool or whatever but I don't really have the patience to deal with a retarded person right now. Hope you have a good day and learn something fun, bye

>>211943059
Trying to get an argument from amerishart was a fatal mistake

>>211943210
Nta but he's right. You want me to sit here and explain indoor plumbing to you too?

>>211942801 (OP)
Americans? It's sold in every supermarket here and in other European cunts. Also, in Moscow many supermarkets have it as well which means that it's quit popular there too. Not sure about your shithole village though.

Anyway, it tastes fine and it's convenient. Get over yourself.

>>211942801 (OP)
Because it costs $3
>It probably tastes fake
huh? Why the hell would they fake chicken stock, its extremely cheap to produce since it can be made from byproducts of chicken meat production.

>>211943291
Enough of this nonsense. There is always broth left over during cooking. I don't know what you are cooking that you have to buy store-bought.

>>211943322
It is not sold here in every store and for good reason. It is not needed.

>>211943035
Fat and juices are released when you roast a chicken (or any animal), but you have to boil the bones to make stock.

>>211943536
igor chicken stock is made from a fairly lengthy process involving boiling down the bones and seasoning the resulting liquid

you're just talking about chicken juice/pan drippinngs which can be used to make gravy but not much else as is

AMERICANS AND THEIR
*shuffles deck*
*pulls a card randomly*
CHICKEN STOCK

>>211943659
whats funny is if we were known for making our own stock the post would be
>why don't americans just buy stock is it poisoned o algo

>>211943536
So why are there so many Russian language ads for it then?

>>211943536
>It is not sold here in every store and for good reason. It is not needed.
Where's "here"? As I said, in Moscow it's very easy to find, virtually any non-cheapass supermarket chain will carry it, either frozen, non-frozen or both. You can pick up Yandex Eats or whatever and see for yourself. If you're in Moscow that is and not some godforsaken place that is.

>>211943639
>Broth, also known as bouillon is a savory liquid made of water in which meat, fish, or vegetables have been simmered for a short period of time.
So it is. But I get it. Your store-bought "stock" is not just a normal stock but a fancy stock made by a more complex process. Now at least it makes sense

>>211943748
Based.

>>211943748
bodied that freak

>>211943035
so if i needed chicken stock right now i would first have to buy a chicken and then make stock of it?
or do you hint that whenever i make something out of chicken i should do this and then save if for later?
nah, one of the perks of actually affording basic things is you just buy it instead.
not that i have ever made a meal that required chicken stock and i probably never will.

>>211943639
It takes a while, but it’s not very involved. You just leave it simmering and check on it once in a while.
I just stick them in my instant pot for like 2 hours on high. Set and forget.

>>211943748
This is powdered chicken stock. And it must be said that this shit is indeed universally available in Russia and very popular. Despite the fact that those are indeed "fake": full of vegetable oils, flavor enhancers and preservatives.

Kinda funny, OP played himself here.

>>211943904
Way too much effort to save $2.

>>211943748
This is a bouillon cube, it is not liquid and it is considered lazy and lowkey not good to use it here

>>211943773
Not available in regular stores, only seen in large ones like Metro

>>211943778
In the English language, stock usually refers to the liquid made from boiling bones. It's not fancy. It's not a finished product. When cooking meat, the drippings are called drippings or juice. Caramelised residue in the pan after browning meats are called fond. Broth (disregarding "bone-broth" as a fancy word for stock) usually has more meaty flavour and is more of a finished product with salt added.

When making a pan-sauce after frying meat in it, adding stock instead of water gives a better result. Stock is also typically used in stews and other sauces. The gelatin and the flavour in it gives a better result than using water.

Store bought stock is a cheap replacement for the real deal.
>>211943894

Unless you cook very little, I'm you have made many dishes were a sensible person would use stock instead of water.

>>211943929
It’s not about saving money. It’s using bones you’d otherwise throw away (or you could compost them), and making a much better product.
Homemade stock is in a different league to stock cubes. The cubes are fine for everyday use, but homemade stock is 10x better. Why wouldn’t you make some if you have a chicken carcass?

>>211943964
>Not available in regular stores, only seen in large ones like Metro
Do you live in some shithole town, yes or no? If you're in Moscow, I bet there's like 2 or 3 neighborhood supermarkets that can deliver it to you right now.

>This is a bouillon cube, it is not liquid and it is considered lazy and lowkey not good to use it here
Yet that thing is sold even in small convenience stores in Russia, which means that very many people buy it and use it.

what the fuck are you guys complaining about now

>>211944033
Here we call all these things "bouillon" (broth). So I thought that this store-bought broth was something more default

>>211943917
You can also buy pre-made liquid stocks / broths. In the UK it’s even available in beer cans. It’s still not close to homemade, but it’s a step above the cubes.
While chickens are really cheap here though. For the price of two of these stock cans (about £5) I could buy a small chicken, have a roast dinner, and make the better stock from the bones. It’s mostly time that limits people.

Americans? You imbecile

>Do you live in some shithole town, yes or no? If you're in Moscow
Not in Moscow, but I lived there and I also didn't see it in the stores near my home

>>211942801 (OP)
I remember watching American cooking video for something I wanted to try then guy just brought out this 10kg powder mix from the shelf lol like thank you helped a lot.

Well, this whole thread shows that you're not very knowledgeable or observant (maybe because you're just young, it comes with age, no need to be offended). So, unfortunately, that's not much of an indicator.
