STORE AND
RECONSTITUTE
STOCKS,
SOUPS, AND
SAUCES
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify storing equipment for storing
stocks, sauces, and soups.
2. Determine the proper ways in storing
stocks, sauces, and soups.
3. Analyze the methods of
reconstituting stocks, sauces, and
soups.
Sauce, Stock and Soup
must have a proper storage
Storage of Stocks/Sauces and
Soups
Stock is a clear, flavored liquid that
freezes well. Chilled stock can be frozen
in 1 gallon amounts to be used for sauces.
However, once a stock has been used to
make a sauce, the sauce itself should not
be frozen. Sauces do not freeze well and
should be made in amounts needed on
the day of production.
Remember these!
• “The stock should never be put in the
refrigerator while it is hot.
• A good way to cool the stock is to place the
hot stock pot in a sink full of cold water and
ice cubes until it is lukewarm but it should not
exceed one hour.
• After leaving it uncovered for the first half
hour and stirring occasionally to cool, it
should be covered with an upside down plate
to prevent evaporation.
Refrigerated stock cools better in shallow
pans. If covered, stock lasts up to five days
but it is best if used in two days.
Storage of Starch and Sauces
1. Glass/Plastic Container
2. Stock pot
3. Refrigerator
Ways to
Reconstitute
Stocks
1. Skim the surface
and strain off the
stock through a china
cup lined with several
layers of cheesecloth.
2. Cool the stock as quickly as possible as
follows:
- Set the pot in a sink with blocks, rack or
some other object under it. This is called
venting. This allows cold water to flow
under the pot or around it.
- Run cold water into the sink, but not
higher than the level of the stock.
- Stir the pot occasionally so the stocks cool
evenly
Cooling stock quickly and properly is
important. Improperly cooled stock may spoil
in 6 to 8 hrs.
3. When cool,
refrigerate the stock in
covered containers.
Stock will keep 2 to 3
days if properly
refrigerated. Stock can
also be frozen and will
last for several months.
Ways to
Reconstitute
Stocks, Sauce and
Soup
1. by adding water
2. by using other
liquid like
evaporating milk,
coconut milk, and
fruit juices
GROUP ACTIVITY:
List down the different
ways on how to
reconstitute stocks,
sauces, and soups
and the 3 ways on
how to store it.
