Step 1

1 Preheat the oven to 450°F (225°C).

Step 2

2 Place bones in a baking dish with sides. Brush the bones with melted coconut oil, coating thoroughly.

Step 3

3 Roast until the bones are properly browned. This will take about 1-1.5 hours; turn once, about half way through. Add a cup or two of water towards the end to prevent the juices and flavors accumulating in the dish from burning.

Step 4

4 Roast the bones following step 1-3.

Step 5

5 Place the bones, herbs, vegetables (if using) and vinegar into the Instant Pot. Completely cover the ingredients with cold water, leaving some space below the “MAX fill” line.

Step 6

6 Place and lock the lid on the Instant Pot. Move the lid’s steam release handle to the “Sealing” position.

Step 7

7 On the control panel, select the “Manual” setting/high pressure, and adjust the cook time to 120 minutes. It can take anywhere from 10 to 40 minutes, within the 120-minute cook-time, to preheat the pot to full pressure.

Step 8

8 When the cook time is up, let the pressure release naturally (approx. 10-15 minutes), until the float valve drops down. Prior to removing the lid, move the vent handle to the “venting” position, to release any extra pressure.

Step 9

9 Strain the broth over a bowl using a mesh strainer, or cheesecloth. The broth is done when it’s deep brown in color and deeply flavorful. Season the broth with salt and pepper, to taste. Cool broth to room temperature and then transfer to airtight container(s).

Step 10

10 Roast the bones following step 1-3.

Step 11

11 Place the bones, herbs, vegetables (if using), and vinegar into the slow cooker. Fill the slow cooker with water, completely covering the ingredients. Set the temperature to low, and cook for 12-18 hours. The broth is done when it’s deep brown in color and deeply flavorful. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 12

12 Strain the broth into a bowl using a mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Cool broth to room temperature and then transfer to airtight container(s).

Step 13

13 Roast the bones following step 1-3.

Step 14

14 Transfer the bones, herbs, vegetables (if using) and vinegar into a big pot. Add water to cover the ingredients by a few inches. Boil for 10-15 minutes. Lower the heat and let simmer for 8-24 hours. The broth is done when it’s deep brown in color and flavorful. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 15

15 Strain the broth into a bowl using a mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Cool broth to room temperature and then transfer to airtight container(s).
