I’ve blanched and roasted my bones!
To start, I put the bones in filtered water. My tap water needs it; old pipes. Then I boiled it and let it go for a few minutes. Finally, I drained and rinsed the bones. The idea isn’t to cook them, just to eliminate some of the impurities.
Then I put them in my air fryer on the roast setting at 400F for forty-five minutes. I did remove the marrow on the second batch and save it after a few minutes of cooking so it wouldn’t cook away. Sadly, I didn’t do that on the first batch here. Sigh.
Nice and golden brown!!! Now it’s ready for the Instant Pot pressure cooker. That’ll have to wait a bit, though, I’ve a friend in town, and hopefully, we can meet up for a cup of coffee or something!
After two batches of bones in my air fryer, here’s the beef tallow I collected. I’m amused because it’s in an old jar of caramel from “the bad old days.” Off to the right, you can see a container that has pork fat from a pork belly cook!
I have run some errands now, so the rest of the cook is on hold.
