Reuse the bones from stock?

[NoTiGG]

I was just wondering if anyone else has tried this......... basically I made some broth like I normally do. I cooked it maybe for 10 hours. Then i strained it and took all the broth........ and added water to the bones again and went for another round. The second round seems to Gel really well so it is still getting gelatin from the bones. It seems more economical to do this considering that the bones I used for just 1 pot of stock cost over 10 dollars. (and when i use the stock to make brown rice i can go through a pot of stock in a day or two by myself)

I haven't tried it, I tend to have more bones for stock that I can use up just using the bones one time. But I'd be interested in trying it. Did you do it with chicken or beef bones?

We do. Two even longer broths (more like 24 hours each.) works great, they still have good flavor and gel in the second one.

I've tried it before, and noticed that the stock from the second batch seemed lighter colored and weaker flavored. I expected that, though, and the stock was still good.
