The stock cubes I used (too lazy to make my own) are 1 to every 450ml water, personally never used them with pasta, will have to give it a try!

You use 1 cube in a cup of hot water as a drink for one person.
Almost 1 cube each is a bit OTT in food I think.

what?????????? have you lot got sensitive taste buds!!
when i make a stew i use at least 5 for a big stew pot!
oxo's are not as strong as they used to be years ago, used to be strong, but not anymore now they gone crumbly and weak!

Re: how many OXO's
 

heres a tip too:-

To make great tasting, low fat mash, add an OXO cube to the water of cooking potatoes or any vegetable, then mash with reserved cooking liquid instead of milk or butter. :D

That reminds me of when we were kids,
We had an oxo with stale bread in when we were hungry,and told that it was a square meal,,lol,
Blimey how times have changed...

Re: how many OXO's
 

crumble an OXO into baked beans when you are heating them. Yummy!

it should be 1 OXO for each 1/2 pint of stock IIRC. so based on 2 pints of liqued 4 sounds about right. However I would say that you get better flavour if you can shove a few roasted bones and a few herbs in for the duration of the cooking.

My great aunt used to have that for breakfast and fed me the same when I stayed with her when I was little. I thought it was an amazing treat. Then my Mum found out and insisted I be given breakfast cereal. :D

Coming home tonight, tuned into Chris Evans (no comments please re. Radio 2 :p ), He reported had a new life changing toy ... a fat separator quicker than the normal ways. You know the problem with creaming off the fat from the stock I suppose .. and said it was very pretty too ... :D

Me, I never cook a joint of meat in fat anyway, just water, which always seems extremely delicious after adding Bisto .. oh, hek, is this a dirty word on this thread. ?

Stated that the secret of gravy was the Brown Sauce ?? .. well, will give it a try.
