Whats the difference between stock and broth?

Recipes call for broth and stock all the time! So i was wondering if both of them are just as good to replace with one another. What is the real difference. And is it worth paying more for stock just because its stock? Please help me out. And maybe you could give me a good affordable brand you find really good? Thanks


Stock best answer:

Answer by bubba7734743
While they're both the liquid results of boiling animal parts, stock tends to be made with bones and inedible bits, while broth is made by boiling meat. Both can contain vegetation as well, with whole vegetables like celery and onions more common in stock, and simple herbs more common in broth. Stock is often richer in mouth feel because longer cooking time renders more of the connective tissue into gelatin. It should also set up like a tasty meat jell-o in the fridge for the same reason.

Only two holes in the stocks at Baildon, compared to four in neighbouring Guiseley.
