Starting originally as a conversation on steam oven and combi oven cooking, Demystified has evolved into a broad conversation about cooking at home. Hosts Paul and Linda still love talking steam oven cooking so some episodes are on specific topics while others are weekly catchups of what has happened in the Demystified kitchen. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to this episode of Demystified bought to you from the team behind Cooking with Steam. During a recording of From the Kitchen, Paul made mention of having used a master stock in the cooking process for a beef oxtail dish. So, not knowing much about master stocks Linda asked Paul to discuss how they are made, when they are used, why they are used and do they really last for years?
Notes were promised to add to this episode and they are coming. In brief, there are some tips for making and using master stocks:
- essential ingredients:
- Water
- Shaoxing wine
- Soy Sauce
- Mandarin peel
- Palm Sugar (yellow Sugar)
- Star Anise
- Ginger
- Lemongrass
- Cinnamon Quills
- Coriander Seeds
- Sechuan Pepper
- Chilli
- Cardamon Seeds
- Dried Shittake mushrooms (optional)
- always let cool in the fridge and remove the fat that solidifies in the liquid.
- always bring the master stock to the boil before use
- never mix proteins - meaning if you poach beef in the master stock then only use it to poach beef. Do not use to poach chicken or veal or lamb
