Storing and Reconstituting Stocks

This document provides instructions for storing and reconstituting stocks, sauces, and soups. It discusses how stocks can be frozen for several months and refrigerated for up to 5 days. Sauces do not freeze well and should only be made in amounts needed for the day. When cooling hot stocks, they should not be placed directly in the refrigerator but instead cooled in a sink of cold water and ice for no more than an hour. Sauces and starches should be stored in airtight containers in a cool, dry place away from moisture and pests. To reconstitute stocks, they can be strained and cooled quickly before refrigerating, then water can be added when reheating.

Store and Reconstitute Stocks, Sauces, and Soups

Stock is a clear, “water extract” that results from simmering animal bones, meat, and/or vegetables with
water, often flavored with the addition of aromatic herbs and spices.

STORAGE OF STOCKS, SAUCES, AND SOUPS

• Stocks can be chilled and can be frozen well. Chilled stock can be frozen in 1 gallon amounts that
would be used for making sauces. However, once the stock has been used to make a sauce, the sauce
itself should not be frozen. Sauces do not freeze well and only the amounts needed for the day should
be made.
• The stock should not be placed in the refrigerator while it is hot. Doing so can raise the internal
temperature of the refrigerator until the stock cools sufficiently within two hours. This process may result
to warming of everything else in the refrigerator.
• A good way to cool the stock is to place the hot stock pot in a sink full of cold water and ice cubes
until it becomes lukewarm, but doing it should not exceed one hour. Leave it uncovered for the first
half hour and stir occasionally to cool. Cover with an upside-down plate to prevent evaporation and would
cause the stock to become too concentrated. If covered, stock lasts up to five days inside the refrigerator,
but it is best used within two days.

STORAGE OF STARCH AND SAUCES

• Sauces and starch should be kept in an airtight container and stored in a cool, dry place away from the
moisture, oxygen, light, and pests.
• Food made with starches contain egg, milk, cream, or other dairy products, which make them prone to
bacterial contamination and food-borne illness. Sauces made with these ingredients should be kept out
of the temperature danger zone.
• Thickened sauce should be stored in the refrigerator and never left to stay at room temperature longer
than two hours.
• Storing materials and equipment that can be used are airtight glass or plastic container, stock pot, and
refrigerator.

WAYS TO RECONSTITUTE STOCKS

1. Skim the surface and strain off the stock through a ceramic cup lined with several layers of cheesecloth.
2. Cool down the stock as quickly as possible using these methods:
• Set the pot in a sink with blocks or rack for venting. Venting allows cold water to flow under the
pot or around it.
• Run cold water into the sink, but not higher than the level of the stock.
• Stir the pot occasionally so the stock cools evenly. Improperly cooled stock may spoil in 6 to 8
hours.
3. Once cool, refrigerate the stock in covered containers. Stock will keep for 2 to 3 days if it is refrigerated
properly. Stock can also be frozen to last for several months.

WAYS TO RECONSTITUTE STOCK, SAUCE, AND SOUP

Reconstituting stock, sauce, and soup may be done by:

• adding water
• using other liquid such as evaporated milk, coconut milk, and fruit juice

Venting plays a crucial role in the cooling process of stock by allowing cold water to flow under and around the pot, facilitating even cooling. This process helps prevent the stock from reaching temperatures that could foster bacterial growth. Stirring the pot during this process further ensures that the entire stock cools evenly, contributing to food safety by minimizing the time the stock spends in the temperature danger zone .

Stock, sauce, and soup can be reconstituted by adding water or using other liquids like evaporated milk, coconut milk, or fruit juice. This reconstitution process restores the original consistency and flavor of these items, enhancing their usability by making them suitable for immediate consumption or further culinary applications .

Stocks can be chilled or frozen in large quantities for future use, while sauces do not freeze well and should only be prepared in amounts sufficient for immediate use. This difference exists because the consistency of sauces, often containing ingredients like dairy, can change unfavorably when frozen, potentially leading to separation or textural changes upon thawing .

Stirring stock during the cooling process ensures even temperature distribution throughout the liquid, which is crucial for maintaining a consistent cooling rate and minimizing time spent in the temperature danger zone. Skipping this step could lead to uneven cooling, with some parts of the stock remaining warmer for longer, increasing the risk of bacterial growth and potential spoilage .

Sauces and starches should be stored in airtight containers to protect them from moisture, oxygen, light, and pests, which can cause spoilage or contamination. Ensuring a controlled environment helps maintain their quality and safety .

Placing hot stock in the refrigerator is not advised because it can raise the internal temperature of the refrigerator, potentially warming other stored items and leading to bacterial growth. The recommended method to cool down hot stock is to place the stock pot in a sink filled with cold water and ice cubes until it becomes lukewarm, ensuring this process does not exceed one hour. It should be left uncovered for the first half hour and stirred occasionally to facilitate faster cooling .

Covering stocks and sauces during refrigeration is essential to prevent them from absorbing odors from other foods and to reduce exposure to air, which can lead to contamination or spoilage. Neglecting this practice could result in off-flavors, faster spoilage due to bacterial contamination, and potential quality degradation of the stored items .

Improperly cooled stock poses the risk of bacterial growth, which can lead to food-borne illness. Such improperly cooled stock can spoil within 6 to 8 hours due to rapid bacterial proliferation .

The addition of ingredients such as egg, milk, or cream into starchy foods increases their susceptibility to bacterial contamination and food-borne illnesses, necessitating stricter storage requirements. Such foods must be kept out of the temperature danger zone and are best stored refrigerated to inhibit bacterial growth and preserve safety .

Using a ceramic cup lined with cheesecloth when straining stock is recommended because it effectively removes impurities and ensures a clearer stock. The cheesecloth acts as a fine filter, capturing small particulate matter, while the ceramic cup provides a stable structure, enhancing the clarity and quality of the final product .
