    I used to make bone broth on the stove top and simmer it for 24 hours. Ever since I got an Instant Pot, I've used it to make bone broth instead! Why would you make Instant Pot Bone Broth? Bone broth has collagen which has been found to help with leaky gut.

    Benefits of Bone Broth

    • A good bone broth helps to heal the gut and strengthen the digestive system.1
    • Good bone broth has collagen/gelatin, glycine, keratin, and other amino acids and minerals that benefit skin, teeth, bones, joints, hair and nails.2

    What You'll Need

    Instant Pot Bone Broth Ingredients

    You'll need soup bones with marrow, preferably from grass-fed cows.

    When using beef bones, you may also want to roast them in the oven at 450°F for 30 minutes. This will enhance the flavour of the bone broth.

    You can also use the carcass of a roasted chicken instead. Or use both beef and chicken bones.

    Next, you'll need carrots, celery, onions, garlic and bay leaves. When using organic onions and carrots, no need to peel them, just roughly chop into smaller pieces.

    Add small pieces of kombu to add more minerals into the bone broth.

    Tip: Save your veggie scraps and mushroom stems for this bone broth!

    Into the Instant Pot

    Bone Broth Ingredients in Pot

    Place all the ingredients into your Instant Pot. Add water just until 1 inch below the max line.

    Add the apple cider vinegar. This will help extract the minerals from the bones.

    Press the manual button and set the timer to the maximum setting. Might be 120 minutes or 240 minutes depending on your Instant Pot.

    Tip: Press down until you reach zero, then press down again. That would be the maximum setting on your Instant Pot.

    Instant Pot Set to 240

    When the bone broth is done, let the pressure release naturally before opening the pot.

    Strain out all the solids. Compost them as all the nutrients would already have been extracted into the broth.

    Pour the bone broth into glass jars.

    When freezing, leave about an inch or two of air space at the top to prevent the jar from breaking. Or freeze into ice cubes so you can use as needed.
