Well, l Didn’t Know This About Oxo. Did You?

I suppose like me, you have always taken the Oxo cube out of its wrapper and crumbled it into the dish you are cooking?
I mean, Katie and Linda Bellingham always did it that way!

It now seems we have been doing it all wrong and that we should treat the unopened Oxo cube as a sachet!

Did you know this, or have l been living in the dark ages?

Ah - but does it taste any better, Artangel.

By the way - the video that followed on from yours - was also eye opening! Did you know that Vegetable Oxo Cubes contain meat products?

No, ST, it won’t taste any different but it will be less messier! Using this method, I didn’t squeeze the sachet with my fingers but just tapped it lightly with the rolling pin.... you know the one l used to use to whack my husband around the head with!


No, l didn’t see that about the vegetable Oxo cubes. That’s bad.
I will have a look.

That is not how the company that makes Oxo cubes tells you how to do it. Just because someone on a youtube video say's we are doing it all wrong, does not make it so.

Re: Well, l Didn’t Know This About Oxo. Did You?

I have been using a similar technique for many tears but I cut out the initial "spreading" of the sachet - I merely crumble the cube between thumb and forefinger, which "spreads" the cube then tear off a corner before deciding whether to add straight to the cooking pot or dissolve in water first.

I started off doing it as I was idly watching the onions and meat browning when starting a spag bol or chili (or similar) when living in bedsits many years ago - it was a way to avoid "making a mess".

For Gawd's sake, what does it matter, the taste is still the same.

If you don't want to make a mess, then just open the cube over the pan, or a saucer, instead of all losing half of it over the worktop.

When I lived in bedsits, worktops were a luxury that were rarely provided .....
