The only nutritional effect I can think of is that leaving it off and

adding more water as it evaporates might help with the solubility

equilibrium ala Chris' recent posts, but I really have no idea if

this would be significant at all. I think about this everytime I

make stock, but I don't know the answer.

For me, I use a lid part of the time, but in the end I usually try to

let as much water evaporate as possible so the stock will take up

less room in my freezer, especially when I have a huge supply of

carcasses at one time like in deer season when I get them from my

local butcher shop for free. I was in a stock-making frenzy recently

and I have enough for several months! (I eat soups several times a

day too.)

One other thought is that leaving the lid off might help with keeping

the temp low if you're having a problem with that?
