Just a Tip: Skimmin'

When you're skimming the "scum" off the surface of your simmering stock, here's a tip to really make it nice and easy:

Use a fine wire mesh strainer. Just run it around the surface of the water and rinse it in a bowl of ice water.

It's very important to skim during the first hour of simmering and using a spoon or ladle can be a real pain in the butt. This method makes it really easy and effective.

Foggy stock is no good. SKIM THAT SCUM! :)

(By the way, I got this tip from watching Alton Brown and it stuck so it must've been a good one.)

Thanks for reading,
