Need help right now - chicken stock

[Tagyoureit]

Ive made a big batch of it.
Now what?
Im tired, its still warm....
Can I leave it overnight?
Wtf?

Please help me.

Im tired

Can I leave it overnight to cool and strain it in the morning and then make a soup tomorrow?

Yes it will be fine overnight with a lid on.

I would put it in the refrigerator.

Modern fridges can cope with warm stuff so put in the fridge if you are worried about leaving it out.

Thank you!

First timer.... I panicked...

Put the whole pot in the fridge with a tea towel underneath.

You might want to strain tonight, good homemade stock can go a bit jelly like when it cools, sign of a good stock i was told!

Strain it now, then refrigerate or freeze.

I'd leave it out, covered, if you're going to use it tomorrow.

Strain it now, then I would run a sink of cold water, put the pan in it, and stir the stock for about 10 minutes to cool it. Then put it in the fridge.

Ok, so... meat thermometer says 50 degrees so ive put in the fridge, on a tea towel.

Tomorrow when I make the soup, will that be ok to be reheated and then reheated again as portion to eat?

Whats the rules?

Yes, you reheat tomorrow and strain it, will be fine.

Are you? So unkind . . .

I’ve left chicken stock overnight many times to cool and I’ve been too tired to wait and it’s always been fine

Can you put it outside in the garage or shed with a lid on? I’ve just put a casserole that was too hot to go in the fridge in the shed, about 4 degrees here tonight and I’ll sort it out tomorrow.

Clearly your name is well suited . . .

And if we're going to bitch, please proofread your posts so they are at least coherent, and panic does not contain a k . . ..

Fair play but poster still unwell.

Do NOT put it in the fridge!!!!!

It will be as solid as jelly in the morning, you'll have to heat it up again to drain the stock

Or has SEN, or ADHD, or tired, or run ragged by her 6 kids, or just come off night shift, or depressed, or elderly, or just like the rest of us, and trying to get by and asking for advice from other women in a friendly safe place.

Oh dear, can't you just be kind to other women.

What is the point of you? Does it make you feel cool, asking people if they're mentally ill for having a fucking question? You going to go flick the bean now over how brave you were telling off the stupid woman who wasn't sure what to do with her stock?

Prick.

This is fine.

The stock will ok in the morning. If it’s solid/gelatinous then that’s actually the sign of a good stock in that it’s been simmered long enough to extract the collagen from the bones.

Ignore the batshit responses.

If you didn’t manage to strain it before putting the fridge just warm it up tomorrow so it turns back into a liquid, strain and make your soup.

Yes it will be but so what? It will have to be re-heated to make the bloody soup unless you are suggesting all stock should be hot and freshly made 🙄

Reheating won’t kill the flavour.

Leaving it out all night to “cool” will just be a lovely environment for bacteria to flourish.
