@sincerelylegenia: “What is that stuff on top of my water when I boil chicken or any other meat?” It’s called “scum”, or protein foam. consist of fat impurities and proteins from your meat if you want a clear broth and in my opinion, a better tasting broth. I hope this tip helps. I’ll be posting my chicken and dumpling recipe within a day or so! #chickenscum #cookstips #kitchentip
