It comes in a convenient 32-ounce container, ready to be used in various culinary applications.
How people cook with it
Chicken stock is a foundational ingredient for many savory dishes. It adds depth and richness to sauces, soups, and stews.
- Soup base
- Sauce enhancer
- Braising liquid
- Risotto starter
You can use this stock directly from the container. For soups and stews, it forms the primary liquid component, providing a savory foundation. When making sauces, it can be reduced to concentrate its flavor or used to deglaze pans, capturing browned bits for added complexity. It is also excellent for cooking grains like rice or quinoa, infusing them with a subtle chicken flavor. Its versatility makes it a staple for building complex flavors in everyday cooking.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to regular chicken stock, this low sodium version offers greater flexibility. You can add salt to taste, ensuring your dish is perfectly seasoned. It also differs from chicken broth, which is typically made from meat rather than bones, resulting in a lighter flavor and thinner consistency.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike can benefit from having this versatile ingredient on hand.
How to keep the rest
After opening, refrigerate any unused portion promptly. Transfer the stock to an airtight container to maintain freshness. It can be stored in the refrigerator for several days. For longer storage, consider freezing it in portion-sized containers or ice cube trays.
