You can strain a stock regardless of where you cook it. Also there are a ton of temp settings on an instant pot. Low temp slow cook will barely be a simmer.

stovetop method skims off impurities , it happens during the simmer .

we're talking about stovetop vs instant pot . there will be no 'simmer' with the instant pot it is pressurized cooking . the psi elevates the temp . we're talking aromatics here , stovetop simmer is like 180-190 degrees , it's like a 3 hour method . you protect the organic compounds by not subjecting them to undue heat or agitation . the result is a bright clean veggie chicken stock .

i'm speaking from experience btw . we've made quite a lot of this stuff over the years . I think you were saying you've never made stock ?

I've made demi which means making stock first.

You don't need to use the instant pot in pressure cook mode.

in other words don't bother with the instant pot . welcome brother go stovetop your place will smell amazing and your stock will taste brighter .

let me edit here :

we make hell of stuff with our stock but I personally heat it up and sip it out of a ******* mug . so there may be a disconnect with folks who are using it to further cook and me who is like drinking it straight .

what I would say is the low and slow method is amazing for somebody who wants the full spectrum of vittles . maybe you know somebody who has been sick ? give them the stovetop stuff and they will feel better and taste it too . I think maybe that's the difference .
