How do you get the frozen cubes out of the silicone tray? I froze some broth like that and it won't leave the tray.
I usually boil down the stock to 1/4 it’s original size then freeze it in ice cube trays, when i want to use the stock i just add the cubes to the right amount of water to bring it back to normal stock
Is this shot on a green screen? Its really weird
Any advice on how to get frozen stock out of a frozen muffin tin? Besides having it upside down on a towel and waiting for it to partially thaw.
Already thought of a hair dryer but the owner of the hairdryer may not appreciate the new use for it.
No mention of canning stocks and using that for long term storage? The freezer should not be for storage; it should be used for short term transition of foods from purchase to utilization, not for keeping things for months.
Why transfer them to zip lock bags later? Is it a must?
how would you get it out of the muffin tins once frozen? using a knife will scratch the nonstick coating which most muffin pans are.
Label and date any/all bags going into the freezer.
Great info!!!! Thank you
i use a jam jar. ffs.
Love the new set, great tips as always

Feedback: This guy should be hosting the tv shows. The women are terrible on camera; everything looks scripted with them, they don't come off naturally.
Not just stock, but orange juice, milk , marinades, spaghetti sauce and any other liquid that has a short shelf life. Been doing it for years.
Nice tips but you can also freeze in one cup freezer containers and then then turnout into a bag as well.
DON'T TELL ME HOW TO LIVE, ATK!
Good tips, here is one more. Reduce and concentrate your stock by at least 2x, I personally do it 4x, this way you get more stock in a smaller package. Just add water to get the consistency you want.
Nice video! Didn't feel like it was just cut off this time!
Is that a greenscreen?
Dan NAILED the dismount!

SHOW DON'T TELL, WHY EVEN USE YOUTUBE!?!
LOL the pun 😂😂😂 well done Dan!
haaaa well stocked! ( also the chicken is boba fett)
The lighting in these videos are so BAD
Love the new set, but as a former audio guy . . . please pass on my condolences. 🙂
Never thought of muffin tin as an alternative. Thanks
Good stuff, but for me, to make things easy, I simply freeze all my stock in ice cube trays and then store the frozen cubes in ziplock bags. Easy to use just as many cubes as needed and I always know when I need to make more by looking at only one container. Just my 2 cents…
Man, you can tell by the short pause before he really wasn't feeling that pun.
Yes. The freezer is my friend.
How pathetic am I ?
Forget the zipper lock bags. Vacuum seal the cubes. They last forever.
But who has leftover stock? I always use it immediately.
