Knorr® Homestyle Stock Review
I was very skeptical when I heard about the new Knorr® Homestyle Stock because I have tried A LOT of different types of concentrated stock and none really tasted good, in fact they were kind of fake tasting. I heard that there was a chance to try the new Knorr stock so I jumped at the chance because I was curious if they succeeded and developed a good concentrated stock with close to home made flavor. My husband Scott is really the chef in the family (I’m the baker) so I tasked him with putting the stock through his picky, foodie test. He’s very particular on how his ingredients have to be so I thought he was a good choice.
He was impressed that each little container makes 3 cups. Since he only needed 2 cups for his recipe we had 1 cup left over for a meal later on this week. I am the one that makes dinner most nights and they have to be quick and easy due to a load of sports and activities that the kids have and for some reason they always interfere with dinner! I was amazed at how easy and quick Scott made up this dinner.
