Crock pot ideas/Recipie

[7rider]

So you/Knot use the bones and all to make a stock - how do you then pick the bones out? That's what turned me from putting the entire carcass in, but I'd be interested to hear what you do with it.

I do the whole prepared chicken re-cooked in crock pot thing, having gotten the idea from Knot. But what I do is strip the edible parts off the chicken and throw them in the pot with onion, broth, potato, carrot, spices. Then I will put in some coucous at the end. That way I don't have to worry about picking the bones out of the bowl.

I have sort of a multi-step process.
I have a carcass from a 12-pound turkey in my freezer, destined for the crockpot (a 3 qt one - I hope it all fits) sometime soon.
Step 1. cook down the carcass with onion, carrot, celery, bayleaf (from a jar, sigh) and S&P in the crock pot.
Step 2: strain the broth, pick the meat and save from the pile of rubble which is discarded, use fresh carrots, onion, celery for the soup, throwing in wild rice, white rice, egg noodles, or whatever I think of at the moment.
It's time consuming I guess, but I can't figure out another way to not have bones and the thought of "re-using" the veges kind of freaks me out.
