FAQ (Questions and Answers)
How long does the chicken broth made with Instant Pot last?
You can store it in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in an airtight container, or freeze it for up to 3 months. I recommend letting it cool completely before transferring it to jars or freezer bags.
Can I use only meat or also bones for the broth?
You can use whole chicken, only thighs, or even carcass and bones: the bones release more collagen and give the broth a richer flavor and a slightly gelatinous texture.
Can I add anything else besides the classic vegetables?
Of course! You can enrich the broth with spices or aromatic herbs such as bay leaf, parsley, cloves, or fresh ginger for a spicy and fragrant touch.
