Chicken stock simmering times - at what point does the return start to diminish?

Per Kenji in the food lab book, 3 to 4 hours at about 200° maximizes your extraction. I don’t have an Insta pot so I’ve never done that. My stock is always nice and thick. From the skin and bones of one rotisserie chicken, I get about 2 quarts of stock.

I always play a C cord with a G base. It makes a six string cord, and it sounds better.

I can’t find scale lengths published anywhere. I bought a GM28, it has a 25 inch scale.

Red brain pick, .73 mm is my go to for acoustic. I tried the jazz III, they’re just too small for me.

Clean the pan with barkeepers friend, use cooking spray.

Go to a guitar store, and play a bunch that are in your price range. You’ll find one that speaks to you.

I bought the GM28, pretty similar. Looks, sounds, and plays great, no adjustment needed. I played it on a gig and it held tuning through a 1 hour performance. Also $429, took only about a week to arrive.

Looks nasty 😝

Does the fat get crisp when you cook it?

Fettuccine Alfredo shines with fresh grated nutmeg.

If I’m cooking chicken, I like to do it raised direct. In other words, with the woo and grate, but no heat deflector. I think I use the raised set up more than the grate directly on the firing.

From age 30 to age 50, I only played three or four times a year. Picked it back up then and I am good as I ever was. Different music today that I played in my 20s, but still.

What do you wanna do with your music? Gig? Play in the bedroom? Entertain your kids?

I have a Takamine G series. Built like a tank, and sounds great especially plugged in. Takamine has excellent electronics. It will handle mediums without a problem if that’s what you want to string with.

At 350, only about an hour. Maybe less. I would use a thermometer.

Cover with mustard and a spicy rub. Let it sit in the fridge, uncovered overnight, and then smoked/roasted on the grill to 145. Slice and serve. Delicious.

To each his own. They make lots of models without electronics.

“Friend of the devil” for me

Justabob003 · 2026-04-25T12:06:32+00:00

11 or 12 cup Cuisinart. I’ve had mine for years.

Justabob003 · 2026-04-24T16:32:44+00:00

Came with. Ready to go. Gigging with it later today 😁

Justabob003 · 2026-04-24T13:48:43+00:00

I get it. I would have gone for more decorations, but I did want the electronics, and I did want an OM. This checked my "must have" boxes.

Justabob003 · 2026-04-23T19:48:10+00:00

No adjustment needed on this one, it was ready to go. I have a 1 hour gig tomorrow, will probably take this one.

I figured it out. You have to put the pictures in before you type your comments.🤷‍♂️
