Ingredients

  • 1 large onion, quartered

  • 1 large carrot, cut into 4 pieces

  • 1 stalk celery, cut into 4 pieces

  • 1 leftover chicken carcass

  • 10 clove garlic

  • 15 whole black peppercorn

  • 4 qt cold water, or more as needed

  • 1 tsp sea salt, or to taste

Directions

  • Put onion, carrot, celery, chicken carcass, garlic cloves, and peppercorns in the Instant Pot.
  • Add water until it reaches 2/3 of the way up the pot or to the maximum fill line.
  • Cover, lock the lid, and make sure the vent is closed. Set the Instant Pot to Manual High Pressure for 30 minutes.
  • Allow pressure to release naturally, about 15 minutes. Once the floating valve drops, twist the venting knob to allow any remaining pressure to escape.
  • Strain stock into a bowl and discard the chicken bones and vegetables.
  • Let cool to room temperature, then place in the refrigerator.
  • When the stock is cold, any fat will rise to the surface and solidify. Skim the fat off completely.
  • Season to taste with sea salt.
  • Store in an air-tight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 6 months.
