Has anybody tried putting the bones in a blender first? Do you get the same result more quickly using bone meal?

color. roasting makes it brown.
>>16340167
it makes the broth cloudy with visible protein clumps suspended in the liquid. it's really only purely for the visual aspect.

Asian stocks start by blanching the bones because it removes the blood which would otherwise turn the stock grey.

the impurities/scum thing is chef mythology. those arent impurities, it’s just protein. and the only benefit to that is making the stock clearer, but you achieve the same thing simply by draining your stock through cheese cloth. so no, not quite /thread.
