Kitchen Bouquet...yah or nah?

I'm an ABSOLUTE nay on this. I cook rice & gravy all the time & just don't see the need for it. If you brown your meat & veggies enough, your gravy color will take car of itself. Just wondering if people use it & with what meat gravy do you find it necessary to use with?

I've never purchased any.
It confuses me.

I use it to darken sauces and make them look richer. Nothing wrong with heightening the visual appeal of a dish.

I put it in jambo

I've used it a couple of times in a feeble attempt to make something I screwed up at least look more appealing. Other than that I can't think of any uses for it.

I see nothing wrong with it. Sometimes a dish can taste wonderful, but still look a little pale. It's caramel coloring.
I put food coloring in cake icing; what's wrong with a drop or two of KB if an otherwise delicious gumbo seems a bit too light?
I promise it's being used in kitchens all over LA by good cooks and bad ones.

Haha obviously yes for me. Sirloin steak, rice and gravy, and corn was a staple for me growing up and my parents would always put a little kitchen bouquet in the gravy so I guess I just got used to it.

So it's just about color? No flav?

I was at a meeting the other day in Augusta GA and a contractor was there cooking a monstrosity of a jambalaya for some of his customers. I went over to survey his operation. He looked like he knew what he was doing to me. He did have (5) big empty KB bottles at his feet though. He was from Thibodaux if memory serves..

sometimes I'll throw some in jambalaya if I don't have time to really brown it

It makes a pretty jambalaya
I think savoies makes their own version now

Not no, but HELL NAW.

I use a smidgen of the savoie's brand in jambalaya and soups or gravies to get it a little bit browner.

I never use it but I think it's like liquid smoke, which I use in a mix of marinades on meat that I'm gonna grill.
BTW, Liquid Smoke and Fajita Marinade are the same exact thing. Buy the cheaper bottle.

yah...I use little liquid smoke on my fajitas too. only other time I use it is when I do a boston butt or something in the crockpot and I still want to get a little bit of smoke flavor

That's correct.

Yes I do.
It is mostly for color, but if you put a touch on your tongue, you'll see that it has a bit of flavor.
I promise you that you have eaten it in restaurants and enjoyed the food they put it on. Probably also had no idea they used it.
However, if you like to cook without it I have no problem with that either.

I use it to darken gravies and when I make Zatarain's Jambalaya to make it look better.
I didn't think it added much flavor.

Probably didn't, but it does have a taste.
