Clarifying Stock Question

[schoenfelderp]

I recently made my first batch of chicken stock, but it was fairly cloudy so I made a raft of egg whties and mirepoix to clarify it. The stock came out beautifully clear, but I'm curious if clarifying a stock through this method removes the gelatin in it (I am hoping it doesn't). Anyone know?

Only gel syneresis (freeze and thaw) will remove the gelatin.

You used a variation of the consommé method. If you're up to it and have access, you can use a Superbag in your next batch (solids in the bag, water leaches out).

A superbag?

[bushwickgirl]

Ditto, no, just the impurities that cloud the stock.

[pikawicca]

It does not.
