👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Combine Ingredients: Add all the ingredients to your Instant Pot. Fill with water until you reach the MAX line, it will be somewhere between 8 and 10 cups of water.
2. 2Cook: Secure the lid of your Instant Pot and turn the valve from VENT to SEAL. Cook on high pressure for 1 hour. When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release. 15-20 minutes.
3. 3Strain: Place a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Ladle the stock into the strainer. Once the level of liquid is low enough to safely do so, you can carefully pour the remaining contents of the Instant Pot through the strainer.
4. 4Cool & Store: Discard the pieces caught by the strainer. Let the stock cool down for 20-25 minutes, then you can transfer it to airtight containers and store in the fridge.
