Emily Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 I have "soup bones" that I have gotten over time through several bulk beef orders and never used... would these work to make bone broth? They are round and 2-3" thick... not long like the ones I see in blog posts about how to make bone broth. But I feel good that I know they are from grass-fed cows!

Susan W Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Absolutely! We just had a funny conversation going in a thread about this very thing. I forget the name of the thread. Apparently, Mark Sisson encourages people to take a sledgehammer to that particular bone so the good insides get into the broth. I always ask for Marrow bones (the short, smaller ones with the marrow inside) because the other ones don't make a gelatinous stock very easily. Got a sledge hammer or chain saw?

Kirsteen Posted October 25, 2012 Share Posted October 25, 2012 Here's the link to Mark's post, There's a wealth of information in it. He actually recommends using all bones not just the ones we usually use as he says there's so much goodness in all bones. I've got my first pot of bone stock simmering away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got my first pot of bone stock simmering away Yes, for chicken stock, I use all sorts of bones including necks and backs. In fact they are my favorite things to use. The only two beef bones that are available to me to my knowledge are the big round ones and the marrow bones. I would use many more if I could find them. Now, I probably can get them from a meat source that sells the whole sides of beef. In fact, I'll bet I could get them from WF if I ordered them. I am going to look into this.

Emily Posted October 26, 2012 Author Share Posted October 26, 2012 I happen to know a little about chainsaws and I don't think I'd recommend using one on bone without a special chain... or plan on completely trashing the chain you use. A sledgehammer, however, seems very appropriate! Im hoping to make my first bone broth this weekend! Thanks for the link! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted October 26, 2012 Share Posted October 26, 2012 OMG I am picturing you in the kitchen with your chainsaw!! Funny enough..I am going to Home Depot today to see what they have available for whacking bones. I'm sure they'll be looking at me cross eyed.

I did end up buying a pretty little bone whacking 4 lb sledgehammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emily Posted October 27, 2012 Author Share Posted October 27, 2012 My bone broth is in the crockpot! My bones had a surprising amount of meat on them... I figured that will cook in too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
