This document provides information on making and storing stocks, sauces, and soups. It discusses the key ingredients in stocks, including nourishing elements like bones or meat, mirepoix of vegetables, herbs in a bouquet garni. Stocks should be cooled quickly before refrigerating. Sauces and starches require proper storage in airtight containers in the refrigerator to prevent bacterial growth. Stocks, sauces and soups can be reconstituted by adding water or other liquids like milk or fruit juices. Learners are assigned activities to make a collage of stocks/sauces and write about what they learned.

Background Information for Learners


STOCK BASICS
The French work stock is fond, meaning bottom, ground or base. Since 16 th century,
the quality of sauces and soups has depended upon the stocks that are used as their base.
Learning the skill of making stocks will allow you to build sauces and soups on a strong
foundation.
A stock is the liquid that forms the foundation of sauces and soups. Simmering
various combinations of bones, vegetable, and herbs extracts their flavors to create this
foundation.
ELEMENTS OF STOCK
A stock is composed of four ingredients: The nourishing element, mirepoix, bouquet
garni and liquid. These ingredients are usually mixed in the following proportions to make
most stocks:
 5 parts nourishing element
 1 part mirepoix
 1 bouquet garni
 10 parts liquid

1. The Nourishing Element – the most important ingredients in a stock is the nourishing
element. A nourishing element includes any one or a combination of the following:
 Fresh bones (beef, lamb, chicken, fish, veal, or game)
 Meat trimmings
 Fish trimmings for fish stock
 Vegetable for vegetable stock.
The nourishing element provides flavor, nutrients, and color. Some nourishing
elements may bring other benefits to the stock, such as bones, which add gelatin.

2. Mirepoix – is a mix of coarsely chopped vegetables that is used in a stock to add flavor,
nutrients, and color. The ingredients vary with each recipe, but usually include two parts
onion, one part celery, and one part carrots.

3. Bouquet Garni – French for garnished bouquet, a bouquet garni is a combination of fresh
herbs and vegetables such as carrots, leeks, celery, thyme, and parsley stems that are tied
in a bundle with butchers’ twine. This bundle is added directly to the liquid and is allowed to
simmer. The bouquet garni is removed before the stock is used in other foods.

4. Liquid - almost always in the form of water, makes up the largest portion of stock. The
liquid used to make stock should be cold when you begin to cook. This brings out the
maximum flavor of the ingredients and prevents the stock from turning cloudy. When all the
ingredients are prepared, the ration of liquid to the nourishing element should be 2 to 1.

Store and Reconstitute Stocks, Sauces and Soups Storage of Stocks/Sauces and
Soups.
Stock is a clear, flavored liquid that freezes well. Chilled stock can be frozen in 1
gallon amounts to be used for sauces. However, once a stock has been used to make a
sauce, the sauce itself should not be frozen. Sauces do not freeze well and should be made
in amounts needed on the day of production.
The stock should never be put in the refrigerator while it is hot. The large volume of
hot liquid can raise the internal temperature of the refrigerator to the point that the stock will
cool sufficiently within two hours and may warm 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 is lukewarm but it should not exceed one hour. After leaving it uncovered for the first
half hour and stirring occasionally to cool, it should be covered with an upside down plate to
prevent evaporation which would cause the stock to become too concentrated. Refrigerated
stock cools better in shallow pans. If covered, stock lasts up to five days but it is best if used
in two days.
Storage of Starch and Sauces
Sauces and starches should be kept in airtight container and stored in a cool dry
place away from the moisture, oxygen, lights, and pests. Food made with starches contains
egg, milk, cream of other dairy products all of which make them prone to bacterial
contamination and to food-borne illnesses. Sauces made with these ingredients should be
kept out of the temperature danger zone. Thickened sauce should also be prepared, served,
and stored with caution. These products should be stored in the refrigerator and never left to
stay for long at room temperature.
Storing Equipment
1. Glass/Plastic Container
2. Stock pot
3. Refrigerator

Note: Practice Personal Hygiene protocols at all times. – M.Huliganga 2


Ways to Reconstitute Stocks
1. Skim the surface and strain off the stock through a china cup lined
with several layers of cheesecloth.
2. Cool the stock as quickly as possible as follows:
o Set the pot in a sink with blocks, rack or some other object
under it. This is called venting. This allows cold water to flow
under the pot or around it.
o Run cold water into the sink, but not higher than the level of the
stock.
o Stir the pot occasionally so the stocks cool evenly
o Cooling stock quickly and properly is important. Improperly
cooled stock may spoil in 6 to 8 hrs.
3. When cool, refrigerate the stock in covered containers. Stock will keep 2
to 3 days if properly refrigerated. Stock can also be frozen and will last
for several months.

Ways to Reconstitute Stocks, Sauce and Soup

1. by adding water
2. By using other liquid like evaporating milk, coconut milk, and fruit juices

LEARNING ACTIVITY 1
