Quality signs for stock:


A pronounced flavour of the main ingredient
•Be fat-free
•Be clear
•Be cooked for the required time to extract all the flavour
•A good stock should be jellied when it is cold. This is achieved by adding gelatinous meat, such as shin, shank,
trotters or tail to the liquid. This enriches the flavour as the collagen is broken down and its flavour is released
into the stock. A double stock will also jelly due to the amount of gelatine in it
• A mixture of bones often provides a good base for soups
• Ham bones can be added to brown stock, demi-glace or game sauce for a more intense flavour. Often a base
stock or ‘Grand jus’ is placed on the stove so that all the meat trimmings and roasting juices can be added
during the day. The resulting strained liquid from the ‘Grand jus’ is then used instead of water when cooking
fresh brown stock to provide extra flavour

3. What are the points of care which must be applied when preparing stocks?

Points of care when preparing stocks


When filling the pot with liquid, start with cold liquid to enable the contaminants to float to the top slowly while
cooking and leech off the flavour.
Skimming the top of the stock removes contaminants and fat, resulting in a clear stock with cleaner flavours.
Removing the fat off the top of the stock also protects it from spoiling and emitting a foul odour during storage,
since the fat would create a seal and prevent the stock from cooling down rapidly.
Stocks must be boiled gently, with hardly discernible movement, because quick boiling will cook the
contaminants back into the stock, clouding it.

4. List the production steps for each of the following types of stock:

Stock Production steps


Brown beef stock
1. Brown the bones
2. Brown the mirepoix

3. Release the sediment

4. Cover the bones with cold water or grand jus

5. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and skim

6. Add the aromatics such as vegetables, herbs and spices

7. Cook for the appropriate time to extract the flavours

8. Strain through a fine sieve and label

9. Store correctly

White chicken stock 1.       Cover the bones with cold water


2.       Bring to the boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and skim

3.       Add the aromatics such as vegetables, herbs and


spices

Vegetable and miscellaneous stocks Vegetable stock:

2. cook on low heat with a lid

3. add water, aromatics and specific flavours desired e.g.


herbs etc.

4. Strain through the fine sieve and label.

5. Store correctly in small batches

Miscellaneous stocks must be produced according to the


individual recipe. These stocks are often based on specific
ethnic cuisines
Dashi is a Japanese stock that may be used as a soup foundation, such
as miso soup, or as a component of a meal. Dashi is a typical example of
Japanese cuisine, which features delicate light flavours and a simplistic
presentation. Konbu, a kind of marine kelp, is used to make it. Bonito
flakes are added after the dried kelp has been soaked in water. When
mixed with miso paste and served as a soup, a few sliced vegetables
and shellfish may be added for enhanced visual appeal. This broth can
be made with dried sardines or dried oriental mushrooms like shiitake.

5. Provide an overview over the different types of glazes, the production method for a glaze and the required
procedures to provide for a product which is free of impurities.

Types of glazes
1. beef 2.chicken 3.fish prawn
Production steps for a glaze

Page 7 of 16
Glazes are created by lowering the volume of a stock to 10% of its original volume. The stock's flavours are
enhanced, and the decrease increases the amount of gelatine in the stock, causing the finished product to solidify
once chilled. During the cooking process, all fat and contaminants must be eliminated.
To filter the glaze and eliminate practically all contaminants, tie a double or triple layered muslin cloth over a
sterilised stainless steel basin.

6. Provide 3 examples each for, thickeners based on fats, and thickeners based on starches. Explain how these
are used in the preparation of soups and sauces including points of care to ensure a quality product.

fat diets) or cream and flour (dissolves well, use for
creamy sauces, less floury taste)

7. What are the methods to solve problems relating to stocks which are bitter, cloudy, lacking colour or lacking
flavour?

Problem Solution
Stock is cloudy To make hot stock, whisk together the egg whites and add them to the boiling liquid. Bring the
liquid back to a simmer, and the egg white will float to the top, attracting the contaminants.
Using a fine sieve or muslin, strain the liquid. Ladle the liquid onto a strainer with a muslin
cloth and put it aside to allow any leftover contaminants to settle to the bottom.

To make a chilled stock

Add the mince and egg whites, whisk to combine, and bring to a boil to create a raft, similar to
a consommé. To enhance the flavour, use the proper meat kind, such as beef for a beef stock,
fish for a fish stock, and so on. mander

Stock is bitter
Before heating the stock, discard any charred bones or vegetables; otherwise, the bitterness
will grow as the liquid lowers. The entire batch must be rejected if the burned flavour is severe
or overbearing. Vegetables that aren't ideal for stock might also generate bitterness or strong
odours. Use eggplants, cabbage, or old vegetables instead of eggplants, cabbage, or old
vegetables since they will add unfavourable flavours to the stock.

Stock lacks colour Cut a mire-poix, sufficient for the volume of stock, and roast to a golden brown stage, add
tomato paste and deglaze multiple times until a dark base is achieved. Add the stock, simmer
and finish as normal.

Stock lacks flavour Roast additional bones and offcuts for brown stocks or add additional ingredients for
white stocks and simmer until the flavours have been extracted into the stock. Finish
as usual.

8. What are the critical hygiene and food safety aspects which must apply when selecting ingredients for stocks
and sauces, as well as preparing, cooling and storing stocks including the provisions for labelling?

Hygiene and food safety aspects which need to apply for stocks, and sauces when
Selecting Ingredients

Any bones that have a slimy appearance, are old or have freezer burn should not be used. FIFO applies to
stocks as well!
Preparing Any ingredients used must be fresh and of good quality

Cooling The stock must cool from 60°C to 21°C in 2 hours and from 21°C to 5°C in a further 4 hours

Storing follow the 2hour/4hour rule when storing stocks and also label them

9. List the classification for soups and provide 2 menu examples for each with an appropriate service vessel for service and
accompaniment or garnish (no repetition of garnish or accompaniment).
