Sally,Stop encouraging "Kitty", **M**.:o)))>

Mum used to buy boiling chickens ages ago.....and used them in her broths and soups, and always had a good stock-pot going, which would last for ages and be the basis for all soups and stocks......all the meat bones, raw veg etc would go in, and as long as it was boiled every day it was OK......but unless it was looked after it had to be thrown, otherwise you could get food poisoning....

I don't do this, but my Sis has a stock-pot going now and again......and she hasn't poisoned anyone......yet.....

Pusscat, you,ll be OK as long as you,ve got an Ancient "Old Boiler",They usually do it with elderly "Old Birds" who are no Longer good Layers,or whatever. **M**. :o)))))>xx.

Thanks Lulli and Daff.................I am really careful with pork and chicken, I know they are dodgy unless cooked and/or reheated properly.

thanks sally ooooh this could be a master dish lol., the cats are sniffing round they wanna be carefull they dont end up curried, bringing me meeces in all the time

lol guys will let you know the out come xxx and thanks , will get on with iyt now xx

Kitty, I always use the highest setting on my slow cooker for chicken soups or stews, but I make a pure stock in a large pan.. that is only when I am chucking in all the bones, skin etc and I have even been known to use the remnants of the ready cooked chooks you buy hot from the store, to boil for stock. Much nicer than stock cubes if you have the time todo it.

Hi Kitty , if you cook it initially in the usual way then finish in the slow cooker it's OK. that is what I do

Lulli xx

I have a great recipe for chicken Curry Puss....

Pick up a chicken from the rotisserie at Tescos...

Buy a jar of Pataks Tikka Masala....

Take the chicken off bones and mix with sauce...

Freeze....

Use chicken bones with an onion, carrot or any fresh veg and boil up......strain off liquid for stock.....I use the empty Sweet and Sour jars and Pataks Curry jars for the stock and put in freezer for gravies....

I don't think I have a cat in whotsits chance of getting on Britain's Best Dish.....but it does taste nice....

PS....I do the same ..... only with Uncle Bens Sweet and Sour...

lol kitty dont, know but i think its ok to reheat the bones and stock , we can be called the salmonella sisters , (hope not ) lol, xx

Puss mam wuold boil hers until all the flesh fell of then make stew with what was left xxxxxxxxxwhooo lovelyxxx

Hi Puss.. a boiling chicken used to be the old chickens that had stopped laying eggs. They were often a bit tough, so needed to be boiled (as in soups, stews, curries etc) for a long time to tenderise them. The soups and stews from them were out of this world!!

*prints thread off*

Lulli..................I will have to try that one.

I have a slow cooker which even I can't go wrong with ..........well I did, but that's another story.

Would it be alright to cook the soup in that do you know.........or would it be dangerous because of slowly reheating the chicken?

xx
