    I’ve never managed to make decent stock. Every stock I made simply forced me to evacuate my bowels. Tasty, licoricey, faintly sweet, a little fatty. I’m not sure what I did wrong. Do broccoli skins, carrots, cabbage, chicken bones, or tomatoes have a laxative effect or something when pressure cooked?

          Roast the bones.

          I wouldn’t use cruciform veggies in stock - they’re already a gas engine for humans, who knows what they do in stock (my guess is make it bitter).

          Start simple - my chicken stock is little more than just a chicken carcass in water. If I have some onions or carrots, I’ll throw that in, maybe a bay leaf. It comes out nice and brownish, concentrated enough that I usually have to thin it with water (I use a pressure cooker or instant pot).
