Riley said <Question--what's a good brand of Beef
Base? Never used it, and the one person that really
knew what it was said there was good and bad and
couldn't remember the good. That's why I gave up and
just reduced some stock I had.>
I use Better than Bouillon brand which I can buy at
the supermarket. I think QVC also sells it with a
cookbook and a few other flavors.
I think all their products are wonderful. I use almost
all the flavors - chicken, ham, mushroom, beef,
lobster, clam, vegetable and chili base. They last
about 3 months unrefrigerated and almost forever once
you do refrigerate. They do dry up a bit though. I
moisten the dried up stuff with a bit of warm water
sometimes.
Anyway, this is what I use. Penzey's also sells their
own brand of bases. Since I've never used them
personally, I can't say how they are.
Hope this helps,
RisaG
