Re: how many OXO's
 

What are OXO cubes and Bovril?

Is it something people, too lazy to make chicken or beef stock use?

Re: how many OXO's
 

No cubes for me, it's ah.....Bisto.

'ast tha nowt moist?!

Bovril only tastes right at the footy in a polystyrene bin.

Re: how many OXO's
 

would have thought you got the "downstairs" people to make your stock rindy.. hope they don't spit in it

Re: how many OXO's
 

just chuck 4 in, one each.:D

As for which one flip a coin.

Re: how many OXO's
 

or some other bodily fluid :D :D

Re: how many OXO's
 

Back on thread (unusual for me I know) I use 2 or 3. I am not too lazy to make beef stock, I just don't have the time with 3 children at home and a full time job. Next time I need beef stock I will let you make it for me Gary. How much notice will you need?

pooooh!!!!!

Re: how many OXO's
 

I dont think you should tell us all what your 'up to' jedi :p :p :p

Re: how many OXO's
 

I think the whole silly row started because there were only five cubes left, and Jade's gang used four of them to their cook their pasta in, for the little gang of five. Bit selfish, but that's what happens with house/flatmates the world over.

I'd use one cube per pint, for ordinary stock.

Re: how many OXO's
 

When your being lazy that is ;)

The maid was on holiday, I had to look it up in Mrs Beaton.;)

Re: how many OXO's
 

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!

Re: how many OXO's
 

i use 1 stock cube if i'm making spag bol, but thats just for me n reece, i dont buy crappy tins or jars of sauce i make it misell;)

Re: how many OXO's
 

Re: how many OXO's
 

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.

Re: how many OXO's
 

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!
just use 1 at at time and taste as you go along!:D

Re: how many OXO's
 

OMG there's going to be another argument about stock cubes!

I'm going to hide in the garden.:D

Re: how many OXO's
 

did you know oxo was made in gt harwood once!

Re: how many OXO's
 

hey look what i found...lol :rolleyes: Attachment 7988

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

Re: how many OXO's
 

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.

Re: how many OXO's
 

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

Re: how many OXO's
 

emmmm used to love oxo drink:p havent had that for ages!!
warm drink for your tummy:D

Re: how many OXO's
 

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.

Re: how many OXO's
 

If you're gonna use oxo's go easy when adding extra salt. These things are laden with it and if you wern't to know, the meal could be ruined...BEWARE!

Re: how many OXO's
 

same with all stock cubes, they are ready seasoned. you shouldn't need any extra

Re: how many OXO's
 

because whether it's horizontal, vertical, upside down or backwards, it always reads OXO

so the answer would be six, cos theres plenty more where that came from
