Just Baste It:
Don’t be shy. Slather the chicken, turkey, pork or beef with broth as it roasts
and your main dish will come out juicy, flavorful and delicious every time!
|
Better than H20:
Water is just wet. It adds moisture—not flavor, not depth and definitely not excitement.
Replace water with broth when you cook rice and grains.
|
Give New Life to Leftovers:
Time in the fridge can steal moisture and flavor from even the best meals. Drizzle
a little broth over last night’s pasta or casserole before reheating, and your dish
will be delectable all over again!
|
Ingredient 911:
If I'm out of wine or wish to cook without it, broth is the perfect substitution
in pan sauces. It imparts a rich flavor without the cost!
|
Stuffing that Won’t Stop:
Let's face it: stuffing is often just so-so. Push your stuffing over the edge by
using broth to moisten the bread cubes when making your favorite stuffing recipe!
|
Maximize those Mashed Potatoes:
Add broth instead of milk and butter to boost the flavor without all the extra calories.
After cooking your potatoes in broth, save the broth when you strain and add it
back when mashing until you achieve the perfect consistency!
|
Broth on the Rocks:
Save unused broth by freezing what’s left in ice-cube trays. Then store the cubes
in a sealed freezer container, and you’ll have perfectly portioned cubes of flavor
whenever you need them!
|
Concentrate the Flavor:
When the weather cools down increase the intensity of flavor in all your stews and
sauces by reducing the broth in half over medium high heat.
|
Smarter Storage:
An opened broth carton will slowly lose its great homemade flavor and should be
used within 14 days. Mark on the carton the date you open it so you’ll know when
it’s time to pick up fresh product.
|
Pasta Perfecto:
A great treat of mine is cooking pasta or ravioli in chicken broth. All the benefits
of water plus all the flavor of great chicken broth.
|
Awesome Au Jus:
Sauté onions and garlic in beef dripping and combine with beef broth and Worcestershire
sauce for the perfect roast beef au jus.
|
Refined Rehydration:
For added flavor soften dried mushrooms or sun-dried tomatoes in hot broth before
using in recipes.
