A stock pot should not be boiled vigorously because high temperatures can cause the ingredients to break down too quickly, resulting in a cloudy stock and a less refined flavor. Simmering instead allows for gradual extraction of flavors while keeping the liquid clear. Covering the stock pot helps retain heat and moisture, promoting even cooking and preventing evaporation, which concentrates the flavors in the stock. Additionally, it minimizes the risk of contamination from external elements.

Since the pot you cook chicken stock in is hot is should be sterile so isn't it OK to let the stock cool slowly as long as it stays covered?

No. The stock should be cooled as quickly as possible. The pot is not sterile. Commercial sterility would only be achieved through extreme heat or heating under pressure. The pot is also not hermetically sealed (like a can), which means that microorganisms can find their way into the pot.

What is pot liquor?

'Pot liquor' is the liquid left in a covered roasting pan or pot, after cooking. A good example is a pot roast of beef- the roast is cooked with vegetables, spices, and either water or beef stock (stock is much better). The roast is cooked for several hours. The resultant 'pot liquor ' is the remaining liquid- essentially reduced, or wonderfully strong flavored beef stock! It may be used as a thin gravy over the vegetables, the meat or anything you would use gravy on. It may also be thickened, but then it IS gravy.
