My husband and I were so tired Monday night we just left the mess. Usually the 2 of us spend an hour or more cleaning the kitchen after stock making.
I spent most of the morning cleaning and packaging the stock. This is my biggest canning kettle. I also had a regular sized one full.
I freeze the quarts of stock because canning them takes such a long time to do.
I got only 32 quarts out of these batches. I had needed 43 quarts but I am not making more now. I have another bag of carcasses and can make more later on if I need it.
I know plastic is practical for freezing, but I can't help but wonder about the chicken fat leeching and holding the plastic chemicals after months in your freezer, and contaminating your stock after SO MUCH WORK.... reducing and eliminating plastic is so important for our health and our planet. Glass preserving bottles would work...

Glass breaks in a freezer, with others rummaging around... The plastic lasts for decades.
I have been transitioning to the safe form of plastic since last year. Before that I couldn't afford to.

There IS no safe form of plastic... not for us, not for Mother Earth. & Esp not for anyone with chronic illness. You could heat seal stock into glass preserving bottles and save a fortune on energy costs too... Mother Earth would be super happy about that too. 💚
