Bone Broth

For those of you who aren't familiar with it's benefits and how to make it. You don't have to add the vegies if you don't feel up to it. I make mine in the crock pot.

Yep. :) There are several good things on that site, so check it out.

I've never had a problem with my ceramic pot, but mine is an older one. They shouldn't absorb odors unless they're cracked. Was it possibly the lid instead since many are plastic?

Garden peace, the lid was glass. I don't know what it was but it did smell like rancid meat. I know that goat meat does have its unique smell but this was pretty strong. I cleaned it after cooking the meat and it smelled clean. I left it on the counter and the next morning when we came downstairs the kitchen smelled. We started to check to see where the smell was coming from and it was the crock pot. I cleaned it a few times more after having taken it apart to make sure I got all of the crevices of the appliance and the smell would go away. then a few hours later it smelled again.

I'll buy another one because I really want to get into cooking broths. I hope to have better luck this time.

I love making broth especially with fresh vegetables. I don't follow any recipe though. I agree that it is a great "healing" food. Even the smell can make one feel good not only physically, but mentally as well. It's one of my favorite things to make.
Healing98, you don't have to use a crock pot. I simmer mine in a dutch oven most of the day.

Bringing back an old thread....

I'm interested in making beef bone broth in an attempt to heal what I think is leaky gut, which leads to my being allergic to darn near everything... especially the supplements I need to take to kill the lyme.

I went to my local meat locker today and asked for beef bones and told them what I intended to do with them. Apparently, I wasn't specific enough because what I ended up with (or maybe all they had in stock this week) was something marked "beef bone soup". When I got it home and opened it, it contained a 6 inch diameter hunk of beef, about an inch and a half thick, with a 1 inch diameter bone with the marrow in the center. *sigh* What I "wanted" was about 2 lbs of just those 1 inch in diameter bones... without the three inches of meat around the outside.

So, now I have the whole thing cooking down in a crock pot and intend to feed the meat to the family after I've striped it off the bone, then I'll begin cooking down that one single stupid little 1 inch diameter bone and attempt to make a wee bit of bone broth out of it.

How does one convey to their local butcher the literal mental image of 2 lbs of what they would consider to be "scrap bones"....?

And to those of you've who've tried beef bone broth, did it help your leaky guy and / or lyme issues in any way ??? I'm really grasping at straws here because I'm running out of things to try while my health continues to fade.
