5.0 out of 5 stars You will never use dehydrated bouillon again! June 30, 2006
By FCB71
I discovered this product about a year ago and have not used dehydrated boullion since. It's so convenient to make -- just boil the amount of water you need and add the appropriate amount of base. It blends quickly too. No more undissolved bouillon pebbles in the bottom of the broth!

We're a family of 2 so I was worried that they'd go bad on me before I had a chance to use it all, but I've had open jars stored in the fridge for a few months at a time and have never had a problem. I've also purchased the chicken base and am just as pleased. Wonderful products!

2.0 out of 5 stars Way too salty October 31, 2007
By Teresa
This may be better than a bouillon cube, but it's still not great. This Better Than Bouillon isn't absolutely terrible for straight stock but if you try to then use that stock to make sauces or demi-glazes, instead of getting a richer flavor, ugh, they just get saltier and saltier and saltier as the reduction occurs. Do yourself a favor and pay a little more for Minor's.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing stuff January 11, 2004
This is so much better than canned stock or boullion cubes that it's unbelievable. It's really like making your own stock. I never use anything else for making French onion soup or vegetable soup. It can be a little salty, and you have to dissolve it in a little hot water before you add it to the soup, but this is one of the things I keep in the house at all times. The lobster stock is great for gumbo, too.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is very good soup stater.
Be sure to refrigerate after opening. This is a little salty so add a bit at a time. I gives soup great flavor. Also adds deep flavors to sauces & gravy.

Very salty and not as much protein as I would have hoped for. Not sure I will buy again. I was hoping for a very rich reduced beef sauce, to be used as a soup. Read more
