We've been asked by the team at Bisto to find up to 30 MNers (UK only) to try out their new Stock Melts. These hit the shops in Sept so testers would be among the first to try them out.

Bisto say "New Bisto Stock Melts are little portions of concentrated stock that contain real meat juices, herbs and seasoning to deliver extra depth of flavour and enhance dinnertime dishes with a richer taste. Whether your family enjoys traditional British fare such as home-made soups, pies and casseroles, or meals from other cuisines which have become British favourites like spaghetti bolognese or chicken risotto, there's a Bisto Stock Melt flavour to suit everyone.

Packed in individual pots, Bisto Stock Melts can be added directly in your cooking without the need to dilute them first - so no mess, no fuss - they just melt deliciously rich deep flavour directly into your home cooked meals."

If you're selected for the test you'll be sent a pack containing the full selection of products, as well as ingredient suggestions, recipes and kitchen utensils to help you create some delicious family meals (the pack is worth £30).
You can choose from a meat pack or vegetarian pack. In terms of any allergies: the on pack advice is: contains barley, wheat, gluten, celery.

We're looking for a range of people for this - people who cook for the family at home and who think they could include these in the regular weekly menu.

Selected testers will need to try the Stock Melts and then add feedback at least twice on what they cooked and how they found the Melts - you will be emailed a link to the feedback thread. Please only apply if you are around w/c 24 Sept to add your feedback.

In addition each tester who adds feedback as required will be entered into a prize draw where one tester will win a £100 voucher for Amazon

If you'd like to be considered please sign up here

Thanks and good luck

Done Smile

AlmostAGoldHipster · 13/09/2012 09:13

Done. Got m fingers crossed :)

MTBMummy · 13/09/2012 09:19

Done - sounds great given we're getting into stew and soup weather again :)

iseenodust · 13/09/2012 09:53

Done. Would be very appreciative as everyone knows it's colder ooop north Grin

ceeveebee · 13/09/2012 10:02

I would love to but only if they are low salt (BLW). The only low salt stocks are cubes which I don't like, or make my own which takes forever!!

Fillybuster · 13/09/2012 10:38

Done - a veggie stock which doesn't need loads of water would be fab!

AnnMumsnet · 13/09/2012 11:31

Storage Store in a cool dry place. Once pot is opened, keep refrigerated and consumer within 2 days.

Salt Each 100ml of prepared stock contains 0.65g of salt- which is 11% of an adult?s guideline daily amount

Allergy advice is:
Beef
Contains barley, wheat, gluten

Chicken
Contains barley, wheat, gluten

Vegetable

If you have specific ingredients you need me to check please can you PM me?

thanks

Have completed it! Interesting to see if they are better than the old fashioned Oxo cubes I use.

TwoIfBySea · 13/09/2012 12:55

Hmmn, sounds yum. Have just bought a slow cooker, have no idea what to cook in it though so this would be great - if only!

notgotanyanswers1 · 13/09/2012 13:19

I love cooking and I'm always trying new stuff to try and tempt my families appetite, I cook for 3 generations every Sunday so I have to please everybody, so I would love to give them a go, anything that makes my life a little bit easier is always welcome

TheFutureMrsB · 13/09/2012 14:34

Done, these do sounds fab! x

TheTempest · 13/09/2012 16:30

Yes please, I love to cook but due to my living conditions at present I'm not cooking anything :(

twolittlemonkeys · 13/09/2012 16:36

Oooh I'd love to try these - Knorr Stock pots are fab so am always on the lookout for similar!

glenthebattleostrich · 13/09/2012 17:15

done, hope I'm picked would really like to compare them to knorr

MimsyBorogroves · 13/09/2012 18:02

Done. Interestingly enough I just picked up a pack of these in tesco today.

JugglingWithPossibilities · 13/09/2012 18:27

Up for the challenge !

Think I'll do a veggie spag bol and a veggie cottage pie if selected.

poppy1973 · 13/09/2012 18:35

I've added my name, Smile

LadyInPink · 13/09/2012 19:58

Sounds great, I hope i get to try Smile

Laurarj84 · 13/09/2012 20:08

Done!

J4D3 · 13/09/2012 20:29

We're Oxo lovers in this house, probably bung at least 1 in most meals! Would be good to try an alternative. Grin

lancasterkaren · 13/09/2012 20:35

I would love the opportunity to test these. I am an avid cook and pride myself on cooking homemade meals for my family. Good ingredients are very important to us. These sound fantastic as they use real meat juices. We grow our own fruit, veg and raise chickens for eggs. It is important my children understand food too.

DreamsTurnToGoldDust · 13/09/2012 20:43

Oh god, I've just realised. Shit, I applied for this but got Oxo and Bisto mixed up, told them I wanted to be Bisto Mum like the advert! Grin guess I won't be picked!

Izzybuzzybuzzybees · 13/09/2012 20:44

dreams that's quite funny! Ha ha!

I've done the survey and would love to try them!

Izzybuzzybuzzybees · 13/09/2012 21:13

In fact scrap that dreams it is BISTO!!
