Bone Broth Recipes: How to Make Bone Broth in a Slow Cooker, Pressure Cooker & Stovetop

Bone broth has been enjoyed for centuries across cultures around the world. From traditional chicken soup and Vietnamese pho to rich beef broths and slow-cooked stocks, bone broth remains one of the most versatile and nourishing foods you can make at home.

If you're new to making bone broth, it can feel overwhelming at first.

Questions like:

  • What bones should I use?

  • How long should I cook it?

  • Why didn't my broth gel?

  • Do I need a slow cooker?

are incredibly common.

The good news is that bone broth is one of the most forgiving foods you can make.

Why Make Bone Broth at Home?

Many people enjoy making bone broth because it is:

  • Easy to prepare

  • Cost effective

  • A practical way to use leftover bones

  • Rich in flavour

  • Extremely versatile

Homemade bone broth can be enjoyed as a warm drink or used as the base for soups, stews, sauces and slow-cooked meals.

5 Tips for Better Bone Broth

1. Start Simple

You do not need unusual ingredients.

Start with:

  • Chicken frames

  • Roast chicken leftovers

  • Beef soup bones

  • Turkey carcasses

The goal is consistency, not perfection.

2. Follow the Simple Formula

Most bone broths follow the same process:

Soak → Simmer → Skim → Strain → Store

Once you understand this process, you can confidently make broth without constantly following recipes.

3. Use the Method That Fits Your Lifestyle

Slow Cooker = easiest

Pressure Cooker = fastest

Stovetop = traditional

The best method is the one you'll actually use.

4. Don't Obsess About Gel

A broth that doesn't gel is still useful.

Gel formation depends on:

  • Bone selection

  • Water ratio

  • Cooking time

5. Practice Builds Confidence

Each batch improves your skills.

Over time you'll naturally refine flavour, cooking times and texture.

What Makes a Good Bone Broth?

A quality broth typically develops:

✔ Deep colour

✔ Rich savoury flavour

✔ Pleasant aroma

✔ Gelatinous texture when chilled

When chilled, a well-made broth often develops a jelly-like texture. This is a sign that gelatin has been extracted from bones and connective tissue.

Does Cooking Affect Nutrient Content?

Many people are surprised to learn that cooking can both increase and decrease nutrient availability.

While some vitamins are sensitive to heat, cooking can also improve digestibility and make certain nutrients easier for the body to absorb.

This is why both raw and cooked foods can play valuable roles in a healthy diet.

Nutrients Most Sensitive to Heat

Some nutrients are more vulnerable to prolonged cooking, including:

  • Vitamin C
  • Folate
  • Certain B vitamins

Long cooking times combined with large amounts of water may increase losses of these nutrients.

Nutrients That Become More Available After Cooking

Cooking can improve the availability of several beneficial compounds, including:

  • Lycopene in tomatoes
  • Beta-carotene in carrots and pumpkin
  • Protein digestibility in meat and eggs

This demonstrates that cooking is not simply about nutrient loss—it can also improve nutrient availability.

Why Bone Broth Is Different

Bone broth is unique because it is specifically designed around slow cooking.

During the simmering process:

  • Collagen breaks down into gelatin
  • Amino acids are released
  • Minerals move into the cooking liquid
  • Flavour compounds develop naturally

Importantly, the cooking liquid is consumed.

Unlike boiling vegetables where nutrients may be discarded with the water, bone broth retains many of the nutrients extracted during cooking.

This is one reason traditional cultures have valued broths and stocks as nourishing foods for generations.

The Benefits of Consuming the Cooking Liquid

One of the simplest ways to maximise nutrition is to consume the cooking liquid itself.

Examples include:

  • Soups
  • Stews
  • Slow-cooked meals
  • Bone broth

These foods allow nutrients released during cooking to remain part of the final meal.

Best Cooking Methods for Nutrient Retention

In general, nutrient retention can be supported by:

  • Using less water
  • Avoiding overcooking
  • Steaming vegetables
  • Consuming cooking liquids
  • Including a mix of raw and cooked foods

A varied diet containing both fresh and cooked foods helps provide a broad range of nutrients.

Why Add Apple Cider Vinegar?

Most traditional broth recipes include:

  • 1–2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

It is added before cooking begins and is commonly used during the extraction process.

The vinegar flavour disappears during cooking.

Traditional Grass-Fed Beef Bone Broth Recipe

Makes: 4–5 litres

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 18–24 hours

Why You'll Love This Recipe

This traditional beef bone broth is rich, savoury and full of depth. Slow cooking allows the bones, connective tissue and vegetables to develop a flavourful broth that can be enjoyed on its own or used as the foundation for soups, stews, sauces and gravies.

Ingredients

  • 2.5kg grass-fed beef bones (marrow bones, knuckle bones, joint bones or meaty soup bones)

  • 2 carrots, roughly chopped

  • 2 celery stalks, roughly chopped

  • 2 brown onions, quartered

  • 4 garlic cloves, crushed

  • 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

  • 2 bay leaves

  • 1 teaspoon whole black peppercorns

  • Small bunch parsley stems (optional)

  • Filtered water

Method

Step 1: Roast the Bones

Preheat the oven to 220°C.

Place the bones on a roasting tray and roast for 40–45 minutes, turning halfway through.

Roasting develops:

  • Richer flavour

  • Deeper colour

  • More complex aroma

Step 2: Transfer to Pot

Place the roasted bones into a large stockpot or slow cooker.

Add:

  • Carrots

  • Celery

  • Onions

  • Garlic

  • Bay leaves

  • Peppercorns

  • Parsley stems

Step 3: Add Vinegar & Water

Add the apple cider vinegar.

Cover all ingredients completely with filtered water, leaving a few centimetres from the top of the pot.

Allow to sit for 20–30 minutes before heating.

Step 4: Simmer Gently

Bring to a gentle boil.

Immediately reduce to a very low simmer.

Avoid vigorous boiling.

Cook for:

  • Stovetop: 18–24 hours

  • Slow Cooker: 18–24 hours on LOW

  • Pressure Cooker: 3–4 hours on HIGH pressure

Step 5: Skim if Desired

During the first hour of cooking, skim any foam from the surface if desired.

This helps produce a clearer broth.

Step 6: Strain

Remove from heat.

Strain through a fine mesh sieve into a large bowl or container.

Discard the bones and vegetables.

Step 7: Cool & Store

Allow the broth to cool before refrigerating.

Storage:

  • Refrigerator: Up to 5 days

  • Freezer: Up to 3 months

A well-made broth will often develop a jelly-like texture when chilled, which is a sign that gelatin has been extracted from the bones.

5. The Rise of Functional Alcohol-Free Beverages

Consumers are increasingly looking for alternatives to:

This has contributed to the growing popularity of:

  • bone broth drinks
  • collagen beverages
  • mushroom elixirs
  • herbal tonics
  • functional teas
  • protein-rich hot drinks

Unlike many traditional beverages, bone broth provides:

Bone Broth Lattes & Functional Drinks

Today, bone broth continues to grow in popularity because it offers a versatile way to enjoy protein while fitting into many dietary approaches, including:

  • High-protein lifestyles

  • Mediterranean-style eating

  • Lower-carbohydrate diets

  • Whole-food nutrition plans

  • Intermittent fasting routines
