In reply to Home with Dad. Put in blender then add to pet food, as long as not too many onions.

In reply to Kassie.

Put the bones and scraps in a blender and make bone meal for your pets or your plants.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. The last time I made stock, I actually roasted the bones themselves until well browned, and I liked the results a lot when I added in the scraps and cooked my broth. An even richer taste. So, my process is to cook my chicken, save the bones, roast the bones again, and then make my broth with the browned bones

Your last comment - “Chicken stock is richer than chicken stock.” I’m assuming you meant that stock is richer than broth.

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. Thanks so much for that! I'll be making this the next time I cook a whole chicken in the IP, and I'll also start saving my scraps - I never would have thought of that!

In reply to Home with Dad. I have not tried using the leftover vegetable puree myself, as I mainly use scraps to begin with. But we shall see how others weigh in :)

I have been making broths from the leftover vegetables when I buy in bulk and don’t use them all before they start going bad. Does anyone do anything with those solids leftover from the broth process? I realize much of the flavor etc will have leached into the broth but there’s got to be some use for them. A purée for thickening maybe?

In reply to Rosemary K Rushford. I am so glad you gave this a try Rosemary and that you were happy with the results. And what a great idea with the cheese cloth--thanks for sharing :)

I make stock and broth often; and while I was aware of the possibility to use my vegetable scraps, I was hesitant. Many volunteer hands at my church and a start up commercial business was where I learned about this method. After seeing your post, I decided to save my scraps and give it a go! My biggest concern was the dirt that's in the crevices of the onion ends, celery ends, etc. But I gave this a try, buying cheese cloth to help with the straining of fine particles at the end of the stock. Now mine tastes as good as the start up chef's, and I am thrilled! Thanks so much for just discussing this. I'm saving, and I'm making.

In reply to Kassie. Hi Kassie, for these vegetable scraps, I would probably throw away--or I do know some people place in bokashi bin that is safe for meat, fish and dairy. It's a closed bin so it doesn't smell and after about 2 weeks the bin contents can be mixed in on your compost heap. But I do not have experience with these.

What do you do with the bones and scraps afterward? All my scraps would usually go into the compost, but now they’re contaminated with meat oils. I’d hate to just throw them out!

In reply to Mary J. Hi Mary! You can use any chicken bones you like. The only thing I caution when using a store-bought rotisserie chicken is that if you have a lot of meat left, you may need to decrease the overall salt content, as they tend to be really high in salt. Enjoy!!

In reply to Kristen Chidsey. Can I use the bones from a Rotisserie Chicken I picked up at Sams?
