Question about Better than Bullion
Posted on 11/4/18 at 9:48 am
Posted on 11/4/18 at 9:48 am
I believe the instructions say 1.5 tablespoons makes 1 quart of broth
But when I used this ratio a couple weeks ago I found it to be incredibly salty. Does anyone use less than the instructions recommend?
I decided I’m making a gumbo today and I’m trying to decide between trying better than bullion or just using the boxed chicken stock
Side question : what’s your preferred boxed chicken stock?

TBH, I probably use more because I don’t measure. But I taste as I go so I haven’t had it turn out too salty yet.

This maybe obvious but do you use additional salt when using items like this? I know when I made the switch from regular broth to reduced sodium to BTB I adjusted my additional salt. Now I don’t salt until late in the cooking process because of the salt content in the variety of items that contains added salt.

Th first time used it was making a red beans and rice a couple weeks ago.
I usually use boxed or home made stock for red beans and have neve rha dit taste that salty
Didn’t change anything about my recipe and didn’t add any extra salt

I thought it was a teaspoon per cup. If that's correct, your quart has a 1/2 teaspoon too much.
Pro Tip: Don't use salt at all, just use BTB to bring up the salt level to your taste. Bonus flavor there.

BETTER THAN BOUILLON: INGREDIENTS
Chicken meat including natural chicken juices,
salt,
sugar,
corn syrup solids,
chicken fat,
hydrolyzed soy protein,
dried whey (milk),
flavoring,
disodium inosinate and guanylate,
turmeric.
it’s basically salt, sugar, MSG and powdered fat
just use soy sauce and you’ll get the same flavor profile

When using BTB, use far less salt than you typically would with stock in a box.

I never measure it. I boil a container of water in the microwave and stir in BTB to taste. I probably make it a little weaker than they suggest.
