I find the flavour a little celery heavy. So I almost never use it on its own but I often use it to bump up the flavour of chicken stock when I don't have time to reduce it. The Costco size jar in my fridge shows how versatile it is and the long shelf life.
These are the ATK videos that I like best. No silliness or foolishness; just straight forward information presented in a professional way. Great Job Jack, thankyou.
I regularly pick up the Better Than Bullion Chicken at Costco. It's twice the quantity that you find in most grocery stores (16 oz. vs. 8 oz). It's also their "reduced sodium" version, which I prefer.
@@laceyunderall22 Good tip. Also if you're interested in some of the less popular, or hard to find, but interesting flavors you can find them on Amazon. They're more expensive but sometimes it's the only place you can find them. For example, they have a pretty interesting chili base paste that makes a really good chili(better than just using dried supermarket chili powder).
I stopped buying liquid stock and use Better Than Bullion, but depending on the flavor profile I'm after I also use Knorr Swiss or Maggi powdered bouillon in the big jars. I feel I can dial in just the right amount of savory/umami using both.
Love the BTB bases. I actually use their mushroom base most often even though I'm not vegan or vegetarian - versatile and matches well with both meat/poultry and veg dishes.
I'm very surprised but happy to see that Swanson was the favorite as that is one of the readily available products. I use BTB in all flavors but sometimes I want ready made to be in the pantry
One good hack is to add some unflavoured gelatin to Swanson/Campbell's tetra broth. I find the mouth feel lacks and the unflavoured gelatin solves that without changing the flavour.
Better then Bouillon is pretty good in a pinch . I also like Campbell's Beef and chicken broth but it is costly ,especially if you need a quanity .You are right the other commercial broth out there is worthless. Your better off just using the powdered bouillon cubes then buying that tasteless prepared broth. I almost always make my own chicken broth and keep a few cans of Campbell's beef broth on hand . I've been a fan of your show for many years.Your recipes and product reviews and recommendations are spot on.Every member of the team that I have watched on camera is doing a great job as I'm sure the off camera team members are. This show is first class .One never has to wonder if the information presented can be trusted. I have been recommending this show for many years.Every cook ,new or old should routinely watch .Happy to see episodes now on y- tube.
For leftover liquid stock, freeze in ice cube trays, put in a zip bag and use when making rice, cooking green beans, or when a bit of extra flavor would come in handy.
Hannah made a video more recently saying to not bother with the boxed broth. I used Better Than Bullion to augment my stock from my Turkey carcass and it was a mistake. As you point out, it's salty. And reducing down the stock 50% made it much darker with some grainy bits I had to strain out. I should have used the low salt boxed broth instead. The stock isn't ruined but it's not optimal for gravy because of the salt.
Thanks for your efforts and thanks for your message . But the best way to gather or making this broth for beef, chicken, or any another broth is making it fresh as homemade 😋 and freezing it.
My first choice for long keeping stock base is First Street brand, from Smart & Final. It comes in chicken, beef, and vegetable. I realize S&F is a regional chain, so not everyone can access it. Amazon used to have it but no longer does. I admit it has some "junk" ingredients, but the taste is exactly what I like. Swanson's pretty good, too, but, as you mentioned, I'm one of those people that never quite uses the whole container. It does come in smaller sizes. I think my next favorite is Herb Ox. I want to be able to drink the broth without finding it too salty or strong or otherwise disgusting, and I do like Herb Ox for that. If you're vegetarian, G Washington's or McKays are pretty good. I've tried the Watson beef stock powder and really did not care for it at all. Still can't beat homemade. 😊
1) Nothing beats “Better Than Bouillon” but everyone I know used the “REDUCED SODIUM” version. 2) But I’ve never refrigerated this product in decades of use, and I use almost all their bouillon flavors. 3) I use a scale with grams and notes my recipes this way. It makes such a difference. 3) Thank you for the vegan info! I sometimes cook vegan and don’t love the “Better Than Bouillon” and am excited to try the Orrington one. Wow, it’s got 5 stars on Amazon! It’s listed in bulk, and a low sodium since this is such an easy way to add excessive sodium to a diet. 5) I would also add “Knorr Caldo De Pollo - Chicken” (and I also like the tomato). I learned about it through Crouton Crackerjacks recipe for Mexican Rice (I really recommend it, so easy and so yummy).
@@sapat664 YES. I went to my fridge and it is called 'seasoned roasted garlic' and the first ingredient is the roasted garlic. It is very good and it looks like something a vegetarian could investigate. 😀
my mother used 'better than bouillon' back in the early 1970s, and i've used it ever since leaving home. i keep the chicken and beef jars in my fridge at all times. you cant go wrong with this.
Whether one has canned or paper packaged liquid broths - their time dates are what is important for any instant-pourable broths for cooking. Even Better than Bouillon jars also have time dates for freshness. Don't even think about those salt cubes - which were probably found alongside honey in the pyramids !
I’m glad to know that the paste I use and love the flavor is one of the top choices !!!! I discovered it about a year ago at my supermarket … it marks the best broth stock for gravies … 👍🏼
I have used Swanson's when it's on sale, but being that I shop at a Kroger based store (Fred Meyer), I often get the Kroger branded broth, for the low sodium chicken stock, it's not bad, fairly chickeny in taste I might add. That said, nothing beats making it yourself and I do when I have the bones/meat left from a chicken or turkey and can make it then. I have some homemade shrimp stock and some homemade beef stock, and just did turkey stock and most in cubes in the freezer. I have used BTB too but don't buy it currently due to the price, but gotta be careful as it can be a tad salty, though nothing like the cubes from Knorr as they are I think largely salt.
I rarely use box liquid stock anymore, but if I do and I'm not using all of it I just write the date on the carton with a sharpie and toss the unused portion in the freezer.
Swanson's has always been my go-to for chicken broth, especially the low sodium variety. I have tried the better than bouillon roasted chicken flavor. First time I used it I couldn't taste any seasoning / salt. But once I used it in other dishes I found I really liked the flavor.
It's top 3 for sure, but the new Campbell's concentrated line has even better chicken flavour. Too bad Knorr discontinued their Homestyle tubs, they were great too.
I use beef Better Than Bouillon with boxed supermarket beef broth to make a very acceptable quick Pho broth. I use it in pretty much any beef broth soup and have been doing so for quite some time. I love it when something I have been using for years turns out to be a "best choice" for ATK. It happened with Matfer Bourgeat as well as Mercer Cutlery too. Having Swanson Chicken Broth on the list is also very surprising, considering I buy it very cheap at a Grocery outlet all the time. The hot tip on Better Than Bouillon is to buy it at Costco rather than a grocery store. The Costco jars are twice the size of the grocery store offerings (Costco-16 oz. vs. grocery 8 oz) and cost the same price. Beef BTB is hard to come by at Costco so stock up when you see it...I usually have at least 4 jars on hand to see me through the lengthy periods when Costco doesn't have it.
On the cold winters night I enjoy a cup of hot broth almost as much as a cup of tea. I don’t cook much but I drink lots of tea. And there’s a recipe in the joy of cooking that includes tomato juice orange juice and chicken broth served over ice. Delicious
Once I learned about BTB I was hooked. Having lots of boxed Swansons I did my finished product comparison and BTB it was. That also freed up lots of space in my pantry.
I love Better than Bullion to make stock or just enhance the flavor of a dish that needs a little something. I prefer the flavor of Kirkland Organic Chicken Broth, over other name brand broth and buy two cases at a time to have on hand. (I try to only shop for food once a month)
Better than Bouillon is the only bouillon I know of that lists the meat as the first ingredient (imagine that!). I wish there were more options that where made like that.
"I find this can be a little salty" Understatement of the year! While I love the low sodium better than bouillon bases, the full salt stuff has ruined more than one meal for me.
THIS VIDEO HELPED me make a choice I'd been struggling with caused by USPS's failure to deliver bullion cubes and now knowing of BTB's long shelf life. Always liked the BTBs flavors and intensity but thought that boxed broth delivered better economy...not so!
So if you use some of the Swanson product and have some left, pour it into a quart container and put it in the freezer. Or 2 pint containers. Freezers are amazing!
I usually use Swanson if I am using the liquid broth. When it comes to the bouillon types, I prefer the LB Jamison soup base for chicken or beef. I tried the BTB chicken base and I thought it had odd/off flavors. All I am after is the broth flavor, I will add my own seasoning. I do like the turkey BTB to stretch the made from scratch Thanksgiving gravy a little.
I use Swanson and BTB exclusively when cooking bone broth is out of the question in my hot AZ kitchen. BTB also makes a variety of bases including mushroom and vegetable. They are my preferred bases. I tried Knorr chicken powdered bouillon but find it has a strange off flavor. However the soft Knorr bouillon cubes are ok albeit salty. They make a chipotle cube that I drop into meat chili and soups for a spice kick. None of these bases however, should be mistaken for a nutritious gelatinous bone broth tea served with some meyer lemon and a bit of salt.
Since I have celiac I can’t use better than boulion, but my favorite in my opinion tastes and smells better: Kitchen Accomplice reduced sodium chicken broth concentrate (they also have beef and veg, and some flavored ones too) - almost identical ingredients as btb but is gluten free and not as salty. It takes 2 tsp per cup and as a concentrate can also be used raw without water to flavor dishes. I use it for risotto and pan sauces all the time. It’s Amazing
My past experience with Swanson wasn’t very good and I never use the hyper-salty condensed material.

Wirecutter’s article was comprehensive and methodical, so right now I’m trusting that source over ATK.
My options make it easy - our stores have the wide selection of Knorr cubes, or Swanson white box stock. If those are the only 2 options, go for Swanson. 😎
I'll give BTB a try. I have always been using Minor's concentrate (chicken, beef and ham flavors). It sounds about the same - a paste that you must refrigerate after opening. Lots of sodium though.
I'm a big fan of Swanson Chicken broth and more often than not use Swanson Organic. I don't notice a big diff between the 2, taste wise.I freeze the remaining broth I don't use.
I only use low sodium liquid chicken stock and it's never wasted! But beef broth?...I pour the leftovers in ice cube trays and in the freeze it in freezer bags!
Hydrolyzed soy protein and yeast extract are names for monosodium glutamate. We avoid it as it gives terrible headaches within 5 minutes of eating it. There are other names used for it so they don’t have to tell you it’s msg.
The one I tend to most prefer is Kitchen Basics unsalted. I just tend to prefer to control the saltiness of my recipes, and most broths are too salty to start. Of course, there is Alton Brown's pressure cooker broth recipe... have tried it, and it really is the bomb.
Except Kitchen Essentials and Pacific are much higher in protein. Better in my book. And you can add collagen by adding something like Great Lakes collagen granules.
Better Than Bullion: bought it at Costco. It spoiled before I could use a whole jar (of three). Yet, it's so salty that I didn't want to use it. I love salt, my friends have commented over the years about it. I keep a salt shaker on my desk and refill it every couple of months. It's not better than bullion, not to me, my wife or anyone we know. I read a comment below that Costco has a reduced salt version. I will try that.
Better than bullion saves the day so often. I think, "Oh, I'm out of stock." Then I remember I have Better than Bullion in 3 flavors. Let's keep it real, Knorr bullion cubes should be on this list. They are a totally adequate stock base.
Once I started using better than bullion never used anything else… The flavor is amazing and just gives every dish a nice flavor.
Ditto! I just restocked better than bouillon for my pantry. It's a good buy already but I stock up on it when it's on sale 😃
I find the flavour a little celery heavy. So I almost never use it on its own but I often use it to bump up the flavour of chicken stock when I don't have time to reduce it. The Costco size jar in my fridge shows how versatile it is and the long shelf life.
It's not cheap, but excellent.
I agree! I like it better than Swanson's because it's a tad bolder in flavor.
Agreed, the lobster one is the best!!

I love BTB. I haven't used the liquid since I discovered it. Also, the 'garlic' BTB is very good too.
I've been eying the garlic BTB for a while now, I think it's time to just buy a jar and start playing with it.
They have garlic?? My stores don't have that flavor (or the ham).

I discovered "Better Than Bouillon" maybe a year or two ago AND I LOVE IT for all the reasons given. Fantastic!
I agree completely with those picks!
Thanks Jack!
I appreciate these reviews and have acted on quite a number of them and have been satisfied. So thanks!
I also love the BTB ham. It's very good in veggies.
I love the ham, I use it a lot when I'm cooking dried beans --- especially delicious with pintos

Don’t care for commercial broth but I usually use Swanson or College Inn in a pinch. I find watering them down a bit helps.
Mushroom stock is my go to stock.
Once I learned about BTB I was hooked. Having lots of boxed Swansons I did my finished product comparison and BTB it was. That also freed up lots of space in my pantry.

Better than Bouillon is the only bouillon I know of that lists the meat as the first ingredient (imagine that!). I wish there were more options that where made like that.
Savory Broth is really awesome. Little pouches of concentrated broth which is mixed with 1 cup water. Not salty but very flavourful.
Very helpful!
"I find this can be a little salty" Understatement of the year! While I love the low sodium better than bouillon bases, the full salt stuff has ruined more than one meal for me.
Just omit any other salt from the recipe, not that hard
My sentiments exactly 👍❤️👏👏
I always use Better than Bouillon!
I use Swanson and Better Than Bullion so thank you for approving 😊
Yay!!!! I love both the Swanson and the BTB varieties.
Thank for the video

Better than Bouillon is legit good. Used it for awhile.
I usually use Swanson if I am using the liquid broth. When it comes to the bouillon types, I prefer the LB Jamison soup base for chicken or beef.
I tried the BTB chicken base and I thought it had odd/off flavors. All I am after is the broth flavor, I will add my own seasoning.
I do like the turkey BTB to stretch the made from scratch Thanksgiving gravy a little.
I freeze any leftover broth if I don't use an entire container.
I like kitchen basics it has a good clean flavor also
The ones with the highest protein on the label are best and the organic better than bouillon products are also pretty good .
I use Swanson and BTB exclusively when cooking bone broth is out of the question in my hot AZ kitchen. BTB also makes a variety of bases including mushroom and vegetable. They are my preferred bases. I tried Knorr chicken powdered bouillon but find it has a strange off flavor. However the soft Knorr bouillon cubes are ok albeit salty. They make a chipotle cube that I drop into meat chili and soups for a spice kick. None of these bases however, should be mistaken for a nutritious gelatinous bone broth tea served with some meyer lemon and a bit of salt.
That brand of broth is like adding water
Since I have celiac I can’t use better than boulion, but my favorite in my opinion tastes and smells better: Kitchen Accomplice reduced sodium chicken broth concentrate (they also have beef and veg, and some flavored ones too) - almost identical ingredients as btb but is gluten free and not as salty. It takes 2 tsp per cup and as a concentrate can also be used raw without water to flavor dishes. I use it for risotto and pan sauces all the time. It’s Amazing
As a chef I use better than bullion I highly recommend it
My past experience with Swanson wasn’t very good and I never use the hyper-salty condensed material. In Dec 2022 NY Times Wirecutter article totally panned Swanson and recommended Target house brand Good&Gather Organic Chicken bone broth and Costco Culinary Treasures Organic Bone Broth. These recommendations , including ATK’s, may be subjective or may indicate quality variations as large companies search for best deals from generic suppliers.

Swanson is real chicken. if I want chicken, I buy Swanson.
I really like “Better Than Bouillon”. To me it tastes so much better than anything I’ve ever tried.
Ive tried them all and the best in my opinion store bought stock is from Aldi and its organic.
Better than bouillon is great. I use it all the time
Very useful information, thank you.
My options make it easy - our stores have the wide selection of Knorr cubes, or Swanson white box stock. If those are the only 2 options, go for Swanson. 😎

Would be useful if they listed what they compared against
Thanks for the information.
I'm a big fan of Swanson Chicken broth and more often than not use Swanson Organic. I don't notice a big diff between the 2, taste wise.I freeze the remaining broth I don't use.
I tried Better Than Bouillon and I'm hooked. I love the flavors of chicken, beef, and vegetable, but I cut back because of the salt.
Great ! Thanks! What about bone broth! Recommendations?❤️🙏
I been using better then bouillon for the last 3 years you can fine more flavors on their web site
Progresso makes a broth they call Tuscany Chicken Broth. It has become our go-to.

The best beef bone broth I like is Sam's Choice Organic simmered for eight hours and it costs less,
Better than bouillon fan right here.
The one I tend to most prefer is Kitchen Basics unsalted. I just tend to prefer to control the saltiness of my recipes, and most broths are too salty to start. Of course, there is Alton Brown's pressure cooker broth recipe... have tried it, and it really is the bomb.
I like this unsalted brand too when I need a lot of stock for my chicken curry. Otherwise I use BTB.
I don’t think that Swanson is better than Kitchen Essentials or Pacific but they’re all pretty much the same.
Except Kitchen Essentials and Pacific are much higher in protein. Better in my book. And you can add collagen by adding something like Great Lakes collagen granules.
None of the chosen broths would make it into my cart.

Y’all need to start using more MSG
Why did you discontinue the taste tests
I have several liters of homemade chicken stock in my freezer. It's not difficult.
How about rating supermarket bone broths?
