A little back story. Been slowly dropping weight while improving my cooking repertoire. The other day I found an old pressure cooker at goodwill (old school with the jiggler thingy, non electric, $7!!!!!!). So far I love this thing; I have cooked 7 lbs of pork shoulder in an hour (delicious) and the other day dove into 4 lbs of beef neck bones. After pulling the meat off the bones I had a large pile of vertebrae on my cutting board and thought about trying to recook them to make a homemade beef stock (I often will make my own turkey stock around thanksgiving and save up chicken carcasses to make chicken stock, its easy, freezes forever, and is so much heartier than the cr@p in boxes, wonderful soups). So I cleaned out the pressure cooker, gnawed off what little meat was left on the bones and dropped them into the pot with a good deal of water. Got the cooker up to pressure and let it cook/simmer/whatever for about 2.5 - 3 hours. I let it depressurize and opened the lid. I was expecting a nice brown liquid that smelled like beef broth. What I found was a thinnish, milky white liquid. My wife thinks I made gelatin. What did I make? Its in tupperware in my fridge right now, can this be used for anything?
