Knorr stock cubes - bleurgghhhh!

[LauraNorder]

I've always used oxo but thought as MPW uses Knorr I would give them a go. Ewwwwww, how salty? Yuk! I know stock cubes can be salty but these are ewwwwww! Serves me right for buying a product just because MPW uses them!

Agree-and they a very distinct taste, you can always tell when something has been cooked with them.

Oh I love knorr stock cubes. Maybe you used too much? I find a little goes a long way.

Try Kallo! Not at all salty, no msg and all organic . They're lovely.

They are INCREDIBLY salty. I usually bung a veggie oxo cube in gravy - we're vegetarian so basically onion, veg gravy granules, stock (veg water & a cube) & booze - used a Knorr one once & rendered an entire pan of gravy inedible.

I like Marigold myself.

Vegan, salt free, organic and god knows what varieties available too.

And you can just put a spoon in and take out as much or as little as you want.

I love Knorr stock cubes - my cupboard is full of them!

I like them - but I mix the cube with a 3x the amount of water it recommends, otherwise I could see it being too strong.

I chucked them out today!

They are horrible. My mum used to make casserole with knorr stock cubes when we were kids- it always ended up in the bin!

I use them when I make a big batch of soup, I only need one or two cubes, and don't add any other salt.

I find both Knorr and Oxo foul. Kallo is much nicer.

Try M&S concentrated beef, chicken and veg stock in a jar - I've never crumble a cube since discovering it.

Marigold is my favourite. It also doesn't come in cubes so you don't have to use a whole one.

I use the dry cubes and find them ok, but the stock pot things are pure salt! Will be looking for the jars now though.....

Agree that knorr are horrible. Kallo much nicer. Don't like beef stock cubes at all and avoid them. I make my own chicken stock and freeze. So it's only really veg that I use.
