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

CMWO Have you had a delivery yet? I also got a call last Wednesday and still haven't received anything

AlmostAHipster · 02/10/2012 14:36

I got an email saying I'd been chosen but haven't received anything yet.

missymoomoomee · 02/10/2012 18:43

Oh thank goodness I thought it was just me who hadn't received anything yet.

soremummy · 03/10/2012 09:40

CouthyMowWearingOrange · 03/10/2012 09:43

I was phoned and told to expect the package, but haven't received it yet. No note from courier either, and there has been someone in the house 24/7 as I have been ill.

browny · 03/10/2012 09:44

Ooh, just had a huge box delivered and didn't have a clue what it was! I didn't receive an e-mail, so it was a nice suprise Grin. I chose the meat variety and received three different boxes of stock melts, three lovely cooking utensils, garlic and rice! Now...what to cook for the tea? Smile.
