Ingredients

• 1-1.5 pounds of chicken feet or other jointy bones such as wings, legs, or thighs and any other leftover bones you may have like a chicken frame (AKA carcass). You can also use turkey, beef, pork, lamb, or venison bones
• 3 carrots cut into 2-3 inch pieces
• 3 stalks of celery cut into 2-3 inch pieces
• one onion, quartered (no need to peel it)
• 4-6 garlic cloves (no need to peel them)
• 1-2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
• Filtered water

Directions

• Place the bones in the Instant Pot, filling it about half full with bones. Add in the vegetables and the apple cider vinegar.
• Fill the Instant Pot with filtered water to the 4L mark or a little lower if you used fewer bones.
• Make sure your sealing ring is in place on the lid. Lock the lid onto the Instant Pot.
• Place the steam release handle to the sealing position. It will not lock into place, but will remain loose. Just make sure its pointing in the right direction.
• Press the manual button. It will light up for high pressure at 30 minutes. I like to let my broth go for 120 minutes, so press the + until you reach your desired pressure cooking time. Within a few seconds, the Instant Pot will beep and display the word on. This means that the cycle has started and the pressure is building. It can take a bit of time to reach full pressure - anywhere from 15-30 minutes. Once full pressure is reached, the display will switch to a countdown timer.
• While the cycle is running, it is totally normal to hear some sputtering and clicking. You may even see some steam or water spurts coming from the steam release handle.
• After the cycle is complete, the Instant Pot will beep again and the display will switch to L0:00. Its now in the keep warm setting. It will slowly depressurize in this setting. The timer will count up to 10 hours if left alone. I have not yet used this feature. Instead, I turn the machine off (by pressing the cancel button) and slowly release the pressure manually. To do this, put on an oven mitt, keep your face away from the steam release handle, and slowly turn the handle towards venting. I do this in little bits, letting the steam escape before pressing the knob further. You will know when the pressure is fully released, because the float valve (the little sliver button next to the steam release handle) will fall down.
• Once you have released the pressure, you can remove the lid.
• Use a ladle and a mesh strainer to help you separate the bones and vegetables from the broth.
• Store the broth in mason jars or in a glass bowl in the refrigerator. A layer of fat will come to the surface, which you can skim off once it hardens.
• We consume broth on a daily basis, so it never stays in the refrigerator for more than a week. If you will not be consuming your broth within a week, I would move it to a freezer. You can freeze it in ziplock bags or Mason jars. If using Mason jars, make sure to leave enough room in the jar for expansion and do not place the lid until the broth is fully frozen.
• Enjoy your Instant Pot!
