I am not proud of it but the whole range of Knorr Cubes is my secret ingredient! I use them instead of made from scratch stocks. I like the convenience they offers. They are readily available, already pre-portioned, and are relatively cheap compared to how much total ingredients will be, time and effort as well as gas expense for the number of hours it requires to reduce made from scratch stocks. All one has to do is add the cubes to the correct amount of water. Usually 1 for every 2 cups. I know how stocks are made. With the gas consumption it entails, in order to make up for the economics of it, a lot should be made and should be frozen until needed. As it is now, I even have to use one of my mother- in -laws freezers in the next house to freeze my meats. I really have no space to stock the stock.
When I am ready and have decided to give up on the convenience these little cubes bring, it is when I have graduated from my little steps on to a very graceful pas de bourree. Hopefully freezer space will no longer be a problem.
