This leads to a cloudy and less visually appealing stock.Rate this question:

-

Clarifying a brown stock with egg yolks
Correct Answer
A. Clarifying a brown stock with egg whitesExplanation
Consommé is a clear soup that is made by clarifying a brown stock with egg whites. The process involves adding beaten egg whites to the stock, which helps to trap impurities and create a clear, transparent liquid. As the consommé simmers, the egg whites coagulate and rise to the surface, forming a "raft" that captures any solids or impurities. This results in a clarified, flavorful broth that is free from any cloudiness or particles. Using egg whites in the clarification process is a traditional method that has been used for centuries to achieve a clear consommé.Rate this question:
