I finally caved and tried making stock from veggie scraps

Always thought it was one of those Pinterest myths, but after tossing almost $40 worth of carrots and celery in a month I gave it a shot last Sunday. The broth actually tastes way better than the cans and now I'm wondering what else I've been blowing money on without thinking.

Yeah but not everyone's scraps are clean enough to make good stock.

@riverreed you're totally right about that, I've definitely ended up with sad stock from sad scraps before. The trick is to give them a QUICK rinse and trim off any bruised or gross bits before they go in the pot. Even then, if your scraps are mostly peels and ends with no real veggie meat, you're better off just tossing them.
