Bullion

What exactly are bullion cubes and where can you buy them?

I'm wondering what bullion cubes are, what you use them for, and where you get them?

1. A bouillon cube (US) or stock cube (UK) is dehydrated broth (bouillon in French) or stock formed into a small cube (about 15 mm on a side). It is made by dehydrating vegetables, meat stock, a small portion of solid fat (such as hydrogenated oil), and seasonings (usually including large quantities of salt and monosodium glutamate) and shaping them into a small cube. Dehydrated broth is also available in granular form.
   
   
   
   Broth made from rehydrated cubes is inferior in taste to fresh broth because of its high salt content and flavors disrupted by the boiling process; however, it is convenient and cheap, and is widely used in British cooking to add flavor to a dish.
   
   
   
   They are available at any grocery store/supermarket.

17. Bouillon cubes are dehydrated broth. They come in chicken and beef, mostly. They are in jars at the grocery right next to the canned soups.
18. Boullion are basically chicken or beef broth, or whatever flavoring that is available, that is made in the shape of a cube instead of just coming in a jar. You have to unwrap each one individually and then you dissolve them in water to make soups and gravies, whatever else you would like to make.
    
    
    
    You can get them at just about any grocery store, what aisle I am not sure but I am sure your local grocer would tell you where to find them in the store.
19. there used to make soups have flavor and you can purchase them at a supermarket
20. They are littel cubes of concentrated flavoring. They can be bought at any grocery store, they ae used to flavor soups and gravies, but they can add alot of sodium to the dish, so starting with actual beef or chicken stock, instead of adding bullion to water, is a more nutritious way to cook.
21. They are these really salty, bad tasting little cubes that you dissolve in water to make broth. (Usually beef or chicken flavor). You get them in the grocery store. My mom use to give me bullion when I was sick as a kid.
    
    Bleeccchhh....
22. They are little squares of seasoning, usually with dried meat broth in them, (but there is meatless ones) they are used in soups and stews. Those .30 cent packs of noodles usually come with a little silver packet of powder in them, well that's basically the same stuff only with lots more salt. You can buy them in the seasoning, or soup section of any grocery store.
23. they come in small jars by the soup mixes and canned broths at the grocery store. individually wrapped in foil just peel and dissolve in water
24. there are just broth in a cube just addd hot water and then you have broth. you can find thin in yur locl store i bet
25. bullion cubes are basically concentrated flavor, like beef, or chicken, or vegetable. u can use them for just about anything that lacks flavor, soups rice pasta meat and you can buy them at ANY supermarket
26. The are dehydrated meat or vegetable flavoring...they usually come in clear jars that are carried at most grocery stores.

29. A small cube of evaporated seasoned meat, poultry, or vegetable stock, used in making broth or to flavor soups or stews. Just about any grocery store has them. Look where the soups are.
30. They are concentrated, natural or artificial, beef or chicken or other flavoring, tha come in little hatrd cubes. you usually have to melt them with hot water and use afterwards as cooking broth. Many brands exist. The most popular european brand is KNORR available also in supermarkets in USA.
    
    It is good to use this when you do not have ready chicken stock or beef broth etc. hope it helps
31. Check in your grocery store by the spices
    
    If not there, check by the soups & soup bases.
    
    
    
    Beef boullion cubes can be used in soups, stews, gravy.
32. Bullion cubes are generally used for making chicken or vegetable stock.
    
    
    
    I use it for either making soups, or I mix it together in a roasting pan to cook a tender roast.
    
    
    
    You can pick them up in pretty much any grocery store. Oxo is the brand that I often find around here (Canada), though I imagine you'll find it near the canned soup section.
    
    
    
    An alternative to bullion cubes is stuff that comes in a cannister. It's the same thing, but not in cube form. You spoon it into boiling water to make the soup.
    
    
    
    Hope it helps!
33. They are beef stock, chicken stock, or vegetable stock condensed into a cube. You can get them at any grocery store. They are normally by the soups. You can use them to make soup, mix them into stew, use them to marinade. You can use them in just about anything, as long as there is some liquid. I used to know a boy who would eat them plain. They are too salty for me. I hope this helped.
34. Yeah, its been answered a thousand times before me, but I wanted to add an additional bit of info. If you want good beef or chicken stock, don't use bullion cubes. Bullion cubes have little or no flavor and they'll make even the best soup recipes only so so. If you don't have the patience or time to make your own stock, use canned stock...not as good as homemade but MUCH better than bullion. This is also available in any grocery store.
