Stock is the key ingredient called for in thousands of recipes, including rice, risotto, cous-cous, soups, sauces, marinades, pasta, potatoes. Until now, the only choices have been either spending hours to make your own, or settling for lower quality broths, bouillon and bases, which have little meat or vegetable flavor and are loaded with salt. But now, finally, you can get real stock instantly with Kitchen Basics Real Cooking Stocks. Just open and pour. No need to add water.

We start by slow cooking bones, meat and vegetables (carrot, onion and celery in our chicken stock) with a touch of herbs, but without artificial ingredients (like MSG) or fillers (like glutens, dairy or soy) or excess salt. They are then packaged in shelf stable Tetra Pak cartons so you can store them indefinitely in your pantry. When ready to use, just pop open the pull tab and pour out what you need. Store any leftover in the fridge for up to 10 days, or freeze for longer storage.

These stocks are almost as good as my Grandmother's! (But whereas hers took hours, these are ready instantly). You don't need to be a chef to use Kitchen Basics Real Cooking Stocks. See why food editors all over the country are giving Kitchen Basics rave reviews!
