    I’m not a chef in the slightest so this is not a troll. Has this always been an option? Or will this ruin thr stock

    My only concern would be that stock goes at a pretty low temp. It might not blanche them quickly enough.

    I’m a big fan of the idea, though!

    Your stock will taste of carrots (out of balance).

    That’s not blanching that’s simmering. Blanching is when you use rapidly boiling water and if your stock is rapidly boiling you aren’t doing it right.

    Stock shouldn’t be boiling. Maybe reheating carrot but not blanching.

    Doing this occasionally will give you somewhat more flavorful carrots, but I’d think if you did it too much your stock might get overly sweet.

    Oh, snap! This…kinda turned me on a little

    Not looking for all that sweetness added to my stock. You do you, for yous and yours.

    With the added benefit of adding a lovely carrot flavor to the stock 🤌

    It’s wonderful watching people learning how to COOK.

    Not a problem unless you get to the point where a raft starts forming.

    Jeebus, just typing that made me hear my old teacher’s voice screaming at me, “bust the raft, kill the stock!” It was supposed to be ‘cloud the stock’ but he was a hateful old man.

    As others have said, it’ll take extra time, but it’s genius if the stock is vegetarian or the carrots don’t have to be vegetarian friendly.

    That being said, I dunked zucchini in some chicken stock prior to roasting it (at home) a few days ago.

    Knew a place that would do this then serve them on the vegetarian option 🙈
