Though I've found that a gentle simmer is often better than a full boil. It helps to avoid cloudy stock and keeps the flavors clear and rich.

Great question! Boiling can help extract more flavor and nutrients, but if you’re short on time, a quick simmer works too. It really depends on how rich and deep you want your stock. What’s your go-to method?
