Del Monte Unsalted Chicken Broth
What it is
This is a liquid base made from simmering chicken bones and vegetables. It has a savory flavor and is unsalted, meaning no salt has been added during its production. This allows for greater control over the final seasoning of dishes. It comes in a convenient container for easy pouring and storage.
How people cook with it
This broth is a versatile ingredient that can enhance the flavor of many different meals. It serves as a foundation for soups, stews, and sauces.
- Soup base
- Sauce starter
- Braising liquid
- Flavor enhancer
You can use this broth as a direct substitute for water in recipes that call for liquid. It adds a depth of chicken flavor to dishes like rice pilafs, risottos, and gravies. It is also excellent for deglazing pans after searing meat, capturing all the flavorful browned bits. For a simple meal, it can be heated and enjoyed on its own, perhaps with a sprinkle of herbs.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike salted broths, this unsalted version provides a blank canvas for your culinary creations. This means you can precisely adjust the saltiness of your final dish without worrying about over-salting from the broth itself. It offers a pure chicken essence without added sodium.
Who it is for
Home cooks and professional chefs alike can use this broth to build complex flavors in their cooking.
How to keep the rest
After opening, transfer any unused broth to a sealed container and refrigerate. It should be used within a few days. For longer storage, you can freeze the remaining broth in ice cube trays or freezer-safe containers.
