- We don't usually salt the stock unless we are serving it on its own. If using it to cook with, you'll add the salt to the recipe you're preparing.
- Once the stock is finished cooking, you can use it immediately, or store it in a container with a lid and chill for up to 1 week. The stock can be frozen for several months.
