Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 , , et al... But aren't we talking about more than oxygen in regards to oxidation? From the little I've been reading of dairy fat, for instance, it's not only air but also acids, agitation, iron and copper salt, and even a difference between summer and winter feed with summer having a higher (assuming grass fed here) content of Vitamins A and C which retard oxidation by increasing micro-organisms (like lactic-acid) which absorb the oxygen, reducing its effect. So...I know all fats certainly aren't created equal, but I just can't shake this sense that not all broth is good broth. And yes, it isn't earth-shattering, but it would be nice to have more information. I spent enough years with people telling me I was doing the Right Thing, only to find out it wasn't, and I didn't know enough to question anything then, or ask for someone to back up their claim. And as far as free radicals (like iron), they're released from the heme taking very little heat to encourage them.... And I agree - I continue to have the same question about the number of hours recommended for stock making.....

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 , > But oxygen in the air is elemental oxygen, which is more reactive than > oxygen covalently bound to hydrogen in water. Oxygen is covalently bound in air, as it is in water. The oxygens and hydrogens of water are pretty available chemically. That's why putting a non-hydroxide base in water will form quite a bit of hydroxide, for example. But that's not really the main point, which is that you don't need oxygen to oxidize something. > Have you ever tried to start > a fire underwater? I think there are more mechanical reasons for that, too. If you pumped a steady stream of oxygen gas into water, I suspect you'd still have a hard time combusting anything. The cell is aqueous, and there is plenty of oxidative damage in there. > It seems to be generally acknowledged that as far as free radical production > is concerned, slow cooking in water is preferable to high-temperature > cooking in air. I'm not sure whether this still holds if the slow cooking > is extended to a period of dozens of hours, though. I agree with that, but that doesn't mean no oxidation takes place, or that it can't take place in water. Chris -- Dioxins in Animal Foods: A Case For Vegetarianism?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 Hi, When you say " soaking the whole mess " are you talking entire carcass or just the bones? Typically, I've been brining in ACV, sea salt, variety of aromatics, slices of lemons/oranges and then slow-roasting the bird. Then I use the bones to make the stock. Curious what your technique is.

I always do the vinegar soak for beef broth, but I find it too strong a taste for chicken broth. I use white wine instead, and it works just as well -- the bones are soft after cooking, and the broth gels and tastes great! Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt if they could be better fed. They are out on grass most of the year. Their housing has deep litter which provides Vit B12 and K and immune enhancing substances, and some protein in the case of a " mature " litter. They get greens raised specifically for them in the greenhouse ( grain grasses-- wheat barley oats and rye and crucifers) dandilion and yellow dock pulled from lawn and pasture; as well as sprouted oats, barley, wheat) We buy organic whole grain and grind it freshly. I say all this so you will understand the difference between our chicken and one that is just on grass when there is grass and otherwise gets standard chicken feed from the coop, and lives in housing with a normal floor. Recently I made stock from one of the latter chickens and it had a considerable stale taste or WOF. And I do think all the things that Sharon points to here made the difference. So now I amgoing to experiment with my stock making. I recently started making it in a large slow cooker. It has been wonderfully convenient for me to do it this way for many reasons. Probably because it is so convenient, it has also been the case that for one reason or another I just let it cook for more than the 24 hours I used to do it on the stove. And, thanks to this discussion, I realize that I have sometimes come up with a slight bit of that stale taste. So now I do plan to be very precise about observing the correlation between cooking time and subtle flavors and also to experiment with 12 hour stocks. I will post any observations.

Ellen - Do your chickens have access to sunlight? If they aren't out in the sun, it would be good to make sure you have UV lighting, and that would be good for the winter anyway. They'll probably get vitamin D from insects to some degree, but they certainly won't get it from grass or whole grains. If they are indoors, it sounds like that might the one thing that's missing. I don't know if that affects the WOF; I'm just speaking to their general nutritive value. Chris -- Dioxins in Animal Foods: A Case For Vegetarianism?

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2006 Report Share Posted January 26, 2006 After Thanksgiving I made stock from the turkey bones. After simmering 12 hours I poured off the broth to cool & freeze, but wondered what would happen if I boiled the bones again. I did and the second batch of broth was almost as good as the first! I tried it for a third time, but that one didn't have much flavor. I used it for Mexican salsa soup - vinegar, salsa, cumin, & veggies. It doesn't need much flavor for that! > Recently I made stock from one of the latter chickens and it had a > considerable stale taste or WOF.

Outside works well, depending on latitude, but don't count on the windows doing any good. Only specialized glass allows UV in from my understanding. During the vitamin D winter, it's probably best to provide UV-B emitting light for them in doors, because unless you live very far south there is probably a substantial part of the year where producing vitamin D is impossible. On the other hand, if their diet is very rich in insects that might provide a continual source. I have no idea how insects make their vitamin D.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 The tape Sally made for the conference in DC for 2004 said to skim off the stuff that floated to the top - that it was really nasty. But I never can see anything to skim so I never have and have probably poisoned myself. However, if you have done the skimming during cooking, it seems to me that the fat that is in the broth that floats and hardens after cooled is probably good.

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Ellen! I LOVED reading about your poultry! In fact, it didn't occur to me, until reading about their diet, that I should be as chicken, so to speak, about the possibility of raising poultry. Your diet sounds like the same one I've been feeding my Macaws for nearly 10 years, specifically, the sprouts. I'm encouraged that without a huge fuss, I could just make double the batch! I really look foward to hearing about your research project with the stock. A friend of ours lost her entire flock of chickens this week to weasels. I'm sure I don't have to describe the scene to you - brutal. We have tons of predators here so that is the one major drawback in having chickens. I couldn't bear what my friend had to go through this week. Anyway, looking foward to hearing your results, and if you have any predator-proof coop ideas, would love those, too!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi Sharon, Ohhhh weasels! The first batch of chix that we got through the mail and carefully brooded were decimated by one little weasel. I found them. What an intro to farm life. We weasel proofed that chicken house and never had another problem. dh, aka Chicken Man of Hume caught him, and after killing him used his head to measure cracks in the walls that needed to be sealed up. You can check out our website www. themodernhomestead.us. for lots of chicken info. He is about to write an article for it on predator control, but if you want some info now you can ask him specific questions Harvey Ussery ; huboxwood@... I have a lot of chicken stock on hand right now. So it will be a little while before i start my experiments. usually the problem is I don't have enough!

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 We have a completely enclosed cage they go into at night. It even has a 1/2 " X 1/4 " wire floor. During the day they run loose. We've lost one to hawks - a " tophat " one - should have known she couldn't see a hawk coming. During the daylight they seem to be able to take care of themselves, as long as there's cover. Having a rooster would help as he'd watch for predators and raise the alarm, but alas, we're in the 'burbs. After a week of herding them in for the night, they all go in on their own at dusk. We just go shut the door. - Renate, PA > > > > So now I do plan to be > > very precise about observing the correlation between cooking time and > > subtle flavors and also to experiment with 12 hour stocks.

Guest guest Posted January 28, 2006 Report Share Posted January 28, 2006 Hi, Renate My friends were missing the wire floor. They had a nice enclosed area with perches with a door that could be closed at night. The weasels dug under the enclosure, up through the floor of the coop and massacred them all. In the past 8 years, they'd lost an occasional hen to a fox, coyote or hawk, but nothing on this scale. The goal is to install a wire floor this summer. The thing is - all 20 were " pets " , not even a single egg going toward the good of the family. I've tried to gently suggest to my friend that should they invest in upgrading the coop and getting new chickens, if they shouldn't consider using them for more than " pets " . It was hard for me to see the eggs going to waste. They hadn't been picked up in a timely fashion, so it wasn't even possible for me to ask for eggs, not knowing which were safe to eat.

Guest guest Posted January 30, 2006 Report Share Posted January 30, 2006 But when I am going to use the stock I throw out the fat. I >really feel that it isn't good to eat because during that long slow >cooking the fat has oxidized. Ellen, The CLO most of us consume has been heated to 170 *C* or higher. Stocks only get heated to 100 C (the boiling point). And the peroxide level of Blue Ice is less than 1% after the processing, when it goes into the drums. I don't recall if it's heated to this level before or after the vits are removed, and of course the vits help protect it. But I've even seen an assay for fish oil, or very low vitamin CLO that was heated to 180-190 C and the peroxide level was 1. Not that *any* peroxide level is good, but fish oil and low vitamin CLO have a much higher peroxide index than chicken fat, which is mostly linoleic acid, having only 2 double bonds, rather than 5 and 6 respctively for EPA and DHA in fish oil and CLO. Although posted something about an anomoly in the peroxide index I think in regards to EPA and DHA now that I think of it, so I could be wrong. I used to skim the fat myself until I tasted some chicken stock that my brother made in which he didn't skim the fat and it tasted better than any stock I'd previously made. Just like in all other animal foods, it seems that the fat makes the flavor! However, the culinary tradition is to remove it, which is why I think Sally suggests doing so in NT.

I don't think I was a primary agitator in this, but I think everyone is totally exaggerating WAPF's fault in this. The point is that when calf's are fed ONLY pasteurize milk, they die. The profound value of this observation is not contradicted by the fact that pasteurized milk produces calves quite fine if their diets are supplemented. Or do I still have the facts wrong? If my understanding is correct, it was really a technicality of the wording that was causing the problem. And I agree that the statement should have been reformulated.

Guest guest Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 Suze, > Not that *any* peroxide level is good, I'm not sure exactly what to make of this, but for what it's worth, the original vitamin D test, which Price used for activator X afterwards, was a test for peroxides. The test generally indicated that if it didn't have peroxides, it didn't have vitamin D, and if it had vitamin D, the amount of vitamin D corresponded to the peroxides. This was a specific test for the evolution of peroxide fumes from the liquid. I'm not sure precisely what type of peroxide this tested for. > but fish oil and low > vitamin CLO have a much higher peroxide index than chicken fat, which is > mostly linoleic acid, having only 2 double bonds, rather than 5 and 6 > respctively for EPA and DHA in fish oil and CLO. > > Although posted something about an anomoly in the peroxide index I > think in regards to EPA and DHA now that I think of it, so I could be wrong. Yes, but that's in vivo. You can't, at all, compare peroxidation in the bottle to peroxidation in the cell. In the cell, the curve is concave down rather than linear, meaning each additional double-bond increases the peroxidizability, but not as much as the last double-bond did.

I believe your recollection is exactly correct, but the detail of phrasing is massively important, because the original phrasing implied that pasteurized milk is some kind of potent poison, and its obvious and easily verifiable incorrectness undermined the credibility of the entire raw milk campaign. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
