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 stockby 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 ...

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Knorr Stock Pots
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 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.

The hot steamy stock smells good and as you add the boiling water to the granules you can smell the garlic and herbs ...
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 ...
