5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic Vegatable Base!, July 22, 2005

By	Kristen Morbidelli - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This item has been a staple in my pantry for at least two years. As a vegatarian, I find that many foods lack flavor. Many stocks are overly salty and seem to ruin my dishes. This stock however is excellent and lasts seemingly forever. I don't think it is possible to be dissappointed in this stock.

5.0 out of 5 stars Flavor bases that have it going on., August 29, 2007

By	James D. Jones (Saint Augustine, Florida) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I've tried a lot of bases, including commercial flavoring bases. This company seems to put more REAL flavor and less salt in their bases. Maybe that's why it's more expensive, but to me it's worth it. The mushroom base is the first one that caught my attention. It's delicious. Then I tried the lobster, etc.

5.0 out of 5 stars Many Uses, October 22, 2008

By	Kittle (Little Falls, NY United States) - See all my reviews

Better Than Bullion - Mushroom makes a flavorful rub for vegetables and meats that you are roasting. All by itself, or with the usual herbs you use in dry rub. Just remember, this stock is salted. It can enrich salad dressings too. Use it as you would an herb to season all sorts of dishes.
*Instead of salt: Substitute 1 Tbs Better Than Bouillon(tm) for 1 tsp salt.
*For reduced-fat wok cooking: Substitute ratio of 2 tsp Better Than Bouillon(tm) per cup water for the oil.
*For simple gravies: Make a roux of 2 Tbs flour and 2 Tbs butter; add 2 cups broth (2 tsp Better Than Bouillon(tm) Base dissolved in 2 cups hot water). Add meat juices if available. Season with pepper to taste.
*For a magnificent homestyle meatloaf: Add 1 rounded tsp Better Than Bouillon(tm) Beef(or Mushroom)Base for each pound of your favorite meatloaf recipe. Simply dissolve Better Than Bouillon(tm) Base into the egg mixture during preparation. Note: Better Than Bouillon(tm) replaces the salt!
*For world champion chicken patties and chicken balls: Add 1 rounded tsp Better Than Bouillon(tm) Chicken Base to each pound of your outdoor bar­becue chicken burgers or Italian chicken meatballs. Dissolve Better Than Bouillon(tm) Chicken Base into the water and egg mixture during preparation.
*For McDonald's flavored french fries: Soak raw, sliced potatoes in 2 Tbs Better Than Bouillon(tm) Beef Base dissolved in 2 qts chilled water overnight. Be sure to dry potatoes thoroughly before frying.
The BTB website has more recipes. When I placed an order for 8 jars (there are lots of flavors) they sent a cookbook free.
