Shellfish Free Pressure Cooker Bone Broth
Rich, deeply savory, and packed with collagen, this pressure cooker bone broth is the kind of kitchen project that pays dividends all week long. Roasting the beef bones at high heat before they ever hit the pot is the move that sets this recipe apart — that deep browning builds a flavor foundation that no shortcut can replicate. Apple cider vinegar goes in early to help draw minerals and gelatin out of the bones during the long cook, and the result is a broth that turns gloriously jiggly once it chills. Carrots, celery, onion, garlic, bay leaves, and peppercorns round everything out into something that tastes like it simmered on a stovetop all day — except the pressure cooker gets you there in a fraction of the time. For anyone navigating shellfish allergies, store-bought broths and stocks can be a minefield of shared facilities and murky ingredient lists, so making your own from scratch is genuinely the safest and most satisfying route. Skim the fat after chilling, and you're left with a clean, golden broth that's ready to sip straight from a mug, use as a soup base, or stir into grains and sauces.

Transfer the roasted bones to the pressure cooker. Add the carrots, celery, onion, garlic, apple cider vinegar, bay leaves, peppercorns, salt, and parsley (if using). Pour in the cold water — the liquid should reach no higher than the pressure cooker's max-fill line; add or reduce water as needed.
