5 out of 5 stars Beef Base   January 6, 2009
Very good to use to add beef flavor to food. Have given this product to family and friends to introduce them to it.


5 out of 5 stars Great for pot roast in crock pot!!!   September 1, 2008
We use this as a seasoning for our pot roast in the crock pot and it's exceptional!!! Mix a couple tablespoons with a large glass water, and pour over the meat and carrots and let cook for 10 hours on low. HEAVEN!!!


1 out of 5 stars NOT msg free!   August 7, 2008

I was so excited to find this product. I have used the beef and chicken. Both have very nice flavor but can be too salty if you use too much. My main reason for buying these was because they were suppose to be MSG free. Silly me, I saw msg free on the label and didn't even pay attention to the ingredients. Two of the ingredients are just another name for MSG! Autolyzed yeast and Hydrolyzed protein. What a bummer. I have major health issues and try to avoid msg at all costs. I will not be purchasing these again. In fact the jars I have in the house now will be tossed. It isn't worth the health issues! I would like to find a bouillon product that doesn't contain any hidden msg.

Typical of the US food industry, they have to pack the product full of salt. By the time you you get the saltiness diluted out all the flavor is diluted out.


2 out of 5 stars Way too salty   October 31, 2007
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.
