Anywhere to buy this liquid gold ? Been watching too many of Chef Jean Pierre videos and he uses it in just about everything . I only cook for me , sometimes my girlfriend which makes 2 . Is there anywhere on the internets that will sell and ship frozen stocks that do not suck ? As you can tell , I wouldn’t use a whole lot . I’ve watched his vids on making them at home , but damn he makes a lot . If you have not seen his vids , they are great for a beginner cook like me , lol . Just asking if anyone has used commercial stock that was good . And the bouillon cubes just don’t seem to work that well , imo . Thank you in advance for replies !

ETA - I don't have an answer to your exact question, but some tips that might help with a solution.

As with most things, making it yourself is always best. I've been keeping all the chicken parts in the freezer until I have enough. I even keep the carcasses from the Sam's club rotisserie chickens we buy.

As for beef, I don't cook enough bone-in beef to generate the necessary bones. Chef Jean Pierre has a vid on how to make a better stock starting with the stuff in a box.

As for quantity, well - it's hard to boil up a bunch of stuff in a pot and NOT make a big batch. You can freeze it, though. You could use the video and just fraction all the quantities proportionally and get a better batch size for your purposes.

Yes , I’ve watched them and will make them in the future ! Was just wondering if there was a niche supplier that sells it already prepared . I have learned so much watching his vids . I’ve been doing everything wrong my whole life .

Fair enough. That's why I updated my post.


I "learned" to cook from my mom, only to later realize she was a terrible cook. We rarely ate out, so I didn't have much to compare it to. I'm having some fun, though, and now I am getting pretty good at it.

Here s what I would do... Store bought low sodium or sodium free stock in the box from local grocer. Fortify with roast chicken bones or raw bones and mirepoix.

Make the big batch and reduce the stock by half if not more and freeze into cubes or small containers. When defrosted you will have glace if used in the reduced state or if you add water you can bring it back to a stock viscosity.

If you are intent of buying this brand is the industry standard. Link
warning it its quite expensive.

Thanks for that. They don't sell direct to consumers, it seems. I was thinking of trying the beef one.

You should do an AMA in the cooking forum.

Just took a quick look... It's available if you google the item you are looking for from online vendors.

Commercial stock sucks because making quality stock is expensive.  

On the bright side, most commercial veg broth is actually pretty darn good

If you want to make really good broth, buy some veg broth at the store, and mix 1:1 with distilled or filtered water to make your stock

I make my own.  Especially after seeing NY restaurants sell it at $20/cup!  

I save & freeze any chicken bones, & excess meat, until I have enough to pressure cook with carrots, onions, & celery.  Same with any beef & bones.

After the cooking is done, I can it in pint sized jars.  Lasts several years on the shelf.

During the holidays the beef bone-in rib roasts are pretty cheap.  I get a four-bone and save the bones to make beef stock after we're done eating the beef.  Since the bones were roasted in the oven they make a very rich broth.
