I Won't Be Keeping A Stock Of Stock Pots In My Cupboard

Advantages: none at all
Disadvantages: overpriced, salty, artificial

The secret to a good soup is starting with a good quality stock for the base. I make my own chicken stock by boiling down chicken bones with water and it makes an exceptionally tasty soup but when I make my lentil soup only knorr ham cubes will do. I had spotted the knorr stock pots on the shelves of the supermarkets several times and wondered if they were any good but the price of around £2 for a box of eight potions put me off. Luckily one day they were on half price offer so I chucked them into my trolley. Knorr claim that these stock pots are "a rich concentrated stock made from selected meats, herbs and spices that are gently simmered into a concentrated little pot" so I was expecting something better than a bog standard commercially prepared stock cube. I was not expecting it to be as good as my home made chicken stock but I was ...

Review of Knorr Stock Pots

Taking Stock.

Advantages: A quick and easy way to produce a tasty stock.
Disadvantages: Nothing .

keep them airtight. The can holds 150g of the granules, costs about £1.20 and the product is made by Unilever foods .UK. The Knorr chicken granules look like golden coloured gravy granules and they smell pleasant too. They are a mixture of parsley, yeast extract, citric acid, bay leaf, oils, garlic powder, salt, flavourings and the inevitable preservatives. The can states that the granules contain lactose. 100ml of the prepared stock contains just 5 calories. Gravies and soups need a good stock and these Knorr chicken granules can provide a tasty stock. If you put a couple of teaspoons of the granules into a Pyrex jug and add boiling water then that will provide you with stock for gravy, soups or casseroles. The hot steamy stock smells good and as you add the boiling water to the granules you can smell the garlic and herbs ...

Review of Knorr Chicken Stock Granules

An Easier Way to Make Stock

Advantages: Quick and Easy to use
Disadvantages: High Salt content, Contains Lactose

. Not as strong as stock cubes but it was still strong. Inside the tub was a yellow ground down powder and has little green bits in it, which I presumed were herbs or something. I boiled up the kettle and followed the instructions on the pack. That was to use 2 teaspoons, which is roughly 9g, of powder and mix in with 3/4 of a pint of boiling water. As soon as I added the granules to the water my stock formed and was ready in seconds. I gave it a bit of a stir to be on the safe side but I don't think it really needed it! The smell was similar to that of the chicken stock cubes, but the stock didn't look as dark as it does from Stock Cubes. I then added it to the casserole I was making, and the casserole meat and vegetables tasted just as good as a stock cube does and my hubs said "I presume you used stock cubes!" When i told him ...
