Kitchen Basics Chicken Stock

Simply put this is like liquid gold in a container. I use these often for any recipe that calls for chicken broth. The seasonings are a nice addition and I have to tell you...this makes fantastic clam chowder. I basically fry diced onions and potatoes in a diced bacon and butter mixture and then add two of these containers of broth with 5 cans of canned clams. Add a little thickening and a pint of half and half with your favorite seasonings and you will be off to the races. We have used this regularly for over 10 years. It is an excellent product.

These are 8.25 ounce mini containers of broth. While pricy in comparison to the large 32 ouncers that can be purchased, this is a size I greatly appreciate for many of my needs. I like it for making a quick soup, or a quick sipping broth. Just add some bits of left over food and spices. I use it when I just need a splash for flavor and/or healthy cooking. I can do that with the large containers too, but I simply dont want to buy/use the large containers all the time. There is NO mystery about what I am buying here, so for that reviewer that is crying over the size, I ask.. why did you buy it?Currently $32.82 for a box of 12, which makes is $2.74 each. Competitive with local stores, if not cheaper. Obviously bigger containers are cheaper and therefor provide more bang for buck. But if you just want the occasional use item, a convenience item, this is perfectly good. I like the flavor just fine. I usually buy their low or no sodium option.Works for convenient noodle bowls at the office. I will keep a couple bottles of this and some precooked noodles, rice or whatever (shelf stable kind that can sit in my drawer), then I just bring in some fresh bits of food to add to it all.Best by date isnt a hard expiration date. If you bought from the warehouse, you may have a shorter date than a regular purchase. All fine, and all fine well beyond the date. It is not a safety date. Be smart, understand what the dates signify and save a few bucks by not tossing the moment the date rolls over. Plenty of good sites to confirm what the dates mean and why we have them.

It iwas so convenient and taste good.

I love this stock and use it all the time. I ordered from Amazon for the first time in January. Just went to use a box from this shipment only to find out that FOUR of the boxes were damaged in shipping and growing mold!Lesson learned, open the box immediately and make sure none were damaged in shipping. I’m past the return period so a great value just turned into an expensive lesson

Nice size

i make a lot of soups and chicken dishes and need broth. oftentimes do not need a large amount of broth - these boxes contain good quality broth, good size - easy to use while cooking. have ordered before - like these better than most cans.

As you can see, this is a very small size. I didn't read the description closely enough, and was expecting 32 oz, especially for $4 a piece. My mistake- this is the size of a juice box!This is actually for our 21+ cat that has kidney disease, as she is now to the point where kibble isn't absorbed properly. She gets heated broth two to three times a day. So one little 8.5 Oz box is only going to last maybe a day. I've already found a larger quantity on walmart.com and bought it.

Great to have on hand for cooking
