See, Ruhlman Did Say It

…not that you didn’t believe me. Why would I lie? I’ve proven to be very honest.
Today Ruhlman rants about canned broth and your need for making stock.
…your food will taste better and fresher if you use that wonderful and inexpensive fluid at the end of your tap rather than anything that you can buy in a can or a box.
I especially like his advice which he also suggested in the Viking demo of putting the stock into the oven. Although it makes perfect sense, it’s a great suggestion I’d never heard before that will insure long even heating.

Following Ruhlman’s advice, on Sunday I made a favorite green-bean recipe using water instead of canned broth. While it was a nominal amount — the main ingredients, besides the beans, are butter (lots of it) and shallots — I can say that it certainly didn’t make the dish less flavorful.
