More Than Gourmet Jus De Poulet Lie, Gold Roasted Chicken Demi-Glace, 16-Ounce, 1 Pound (Pack of 1) (R-JUS200)

I have been using these concentrates (chicken, beef demi-glacé, and turkey) for years, and I love them.While it may seem expensive, they actually save money compared with boxed broths, and with much less package waste. One pound makes a LOT of gallons of broth, and it keeps perfectly in the fridge (a couple of years at least).About a level tbsp per cup of water microwaved for a minute or so makes a nice rich and strong broth (you can obviously adjust that to your taste).It’s actually one of my cooking secrets (Whoops! Not anymore!). The flavor is excellent and it is not at all salty (not nearly as much so as store-bought broths).

Great flavor to put on almost anything! Too pricey though!

Very good flavor, indiscernible from something homemade. High gelatin content as well (as you would expect) so it can be used to thicken sauces while imparting tons of savoriness.

It's a great compliment to a chicken sauce

Wonderful value-add to meals. Saves time. Instead of making chicken stock, this represents all that time and product concentrated into a single storage container. For the money it is invaluable. In my experience, broths and stocks are wonderful for overall health, and when there isn't time, this is the perfect supplement. I put it in sous vide marinades together with dry spices and wine, into soups, and into sautéed vegetables. Any dish that can benefit. And benefit it does!! yum!!

Love this stuff, but it's getting difficult to find.

Use this in chicken soup, gravy and any dish you want to enhance flavor.

At the risk of exasperating the professed connoisseurs I must now review this product. Bought More Than Gourmet Jus De Poulet Lie Gold Roasted Chicken Demi-glace, 16-Ounce Packages plus 3 other ones for the nice hefty amount of $75.00 and some cents. What attracted me was the reduction ratio attributed to the preparation of this demi-glaze. My logic was sound when I said to myself: With this concentrated flavor at my hands I can create the most delightful culinary endeavors known to mankind, for if I have learned any thing as a wannabee is that taste and flavor is 90% of the work.As this product stated it is supposed to be roasted chicken (french connotations and all) brought to the 20th degree in flavor. So the very first thing I did was to boil some clean water and add the substance to the liquid. The product had the texture of rubber soft enough to take chunks of it and use in the water. This thrilled me at first because I deducted the amount of times it must have been reduced to reach this solid state, way past gelatin or perhaps a hard type of gelatin. I smelled it and could not really tell it was a chicken product. So in the boiling water it went and after proper stirring it dissolved completely. I served what I would call a consomme to my partner in crime (in this try out) and one to moi.This is the results and the reason I am allocating 3.5 Stars to the otherwise 5 Star reviews: After consuming a hot cup of chicken flavored broth I asked my lovely counterpart how did she like it? She said she liked it a lot, that it was so low in sodium that we both had to add a touch of sea salt and peppercorns. The thing is it did not taste in a significant way like chicken. She said it could have also been beef? I was desperately trying to find the chicken taste, the one one would get if you boil a whole chicken with a proper mirepoix, also the one you obviously get from the much cheaper and I am sure not pure powder Knorr's Chicken Broth or even the sodium based cubes. The point being that I did not taste chicken. Or smelled chicken while making it. So I ask: what is the use of using a chicken based demi glaze or broth or liquid if it does not taste or smell like it. I have used the Minor's Chicken and Turkey Base, that one fellow reviewer of these products line had belittle in comparison to this supposedly great product, and Minor's taste, smell and all around convey the chicken or turkey taste, respectively. So maybe is so purified that the whole chicken impact has evaporated?That would be something If I did my favorite rotisserie chicken or baked a whole chicken and later added some white wine to the drippings and when I took the first bite no taste of chicken could be found. That, in a nutshell, is why in my personal opinion this product did not deliver. I expected an explosion of flavor once the thing dissolved but even though it was a fine cup of broth it did not identified itself well at all. 3.5 and I can not wait to try the other three and if they are similar to this one then Minor's still delivers a more honest, easy to discern taste . Or Savory Choice Liquid for that matter.PS: Must admit that regardless whether this product tasted like chicken (which it does not) it still works on a gravy situation. I did a roast and used red wine and mostly this product and by the end of the day, after slow cooking the roast for several hours, I had the most appealing broth or gravy that went very well with everything else. The texture remains very solid, almost like rubber, but with a sharp utensil it is a matter of digging in and pulling a chunk and have to make sure it is totally dissolved for if not is almost like glue. Perhaps a nice 4 Stars instead?
