I love the taste for when I get a craving for dark chocolate which does have many health benefits. I like the strong 86 because I want the chocolate flavor not intense sugars.
The bag is a nightmare to open! They have super glued it shut so that you can not lift it off, you have to take scissors to cut it open.
Also the bag is huge compared to the contents inside. I would rather have cheaper packaging and a better price, but I don't think big companies really care what their consumers have to say, so I am whispering to the wind.
Well I thought I had seen it all. Then I saw these Salt and Pepper Shakers. These are ideal for outdoor restaurants. I use them to dine outdoors. They can't blow away. The lid closes itself each time you set it on the base. Easy to pass the base, the shakers don't fall over.
I walk my doggy and ride my bicycle, often in Florida heat. I need lots of salt to balance out the mountains of purified water I drink.
This is the best salt ever. Very addicting. I've been using it for years. I have neer hd to use rice in my salt shaker, it just seems to pour out fine.
An extraordinary product at a good price.
This may be the purest salt round because it has been naturally protected from modern day pollution. It contains the same 84 trace minerals and elements found in the human body.
Fabulous as a stand alone cracker, terrific paired with exotic cheese or plain old peanut butter.
Love the triple variety in one box. You don't have to buy a case to enjoy the flavor. Amazon appears to sell them a box at a time, cheaper than my local grocery store.
I enjoy cooking and learning new methods of making delectable tasty treats.
When I first heard of Sous Vide I was skeptical about how this was all going to work, yet if the finest restaurants used this method, why not the home chef too?
I ended up with a Kitchen Gizmo Sous Vide machine, then the rest I culled from my kitchen such as a pot of water, zipper food baggies and a spring clamp. Add food and cook!
At the market, I searched for discounted must sale meats. I found these huge Dolly Parton chicken breasts so I came home with those as my first test dish. I made a simple homemade teriyaki sauce with Braggs amino acids, honey, ginger, garlic, orange juice and a splash of wine.
Since each breast was jumbo sized, I used two zipper baggies placing one breast half the sauce in each one. I did the water immersion technique to squeeze out the very last bit of air so each baggie would appear to be vacuum sealed. Then I separated them on the side of the pot of water with a spring clamp to hold them in place.
The idea is to let the Sous Vide machine circulate hot water around the food with out the baggies getting sucked into the little aerator pump.
I set the temperature to 145F per the cooking chart and settled on one hour. At the end of the cooking time, I wasn't satisfied with the results, so I added another half hour. These breasts were mammoth! Matter of fact, I used two plates to serve them at the neighborhood potluck garnished with pineapple chunks.
A dozen neighbors tried the teriyaki chicken and found it moist, tender, and tasty. Some went back for seconds. None of them had heard of Sous Vide but I think they were sold on the concept too after tasting the tender tasty chicken.
The taste is awesome and the convenience is superb.
Just today I made a crockpot stew in a 3 quart slow cooker with a can of this beef, small bite sized potatoes, halved cherry tomatoes, baby carrots, chopped onions, chopped bell peppers, whole chili peppers, sliced mushrooms, garlic cloves, Worcestershire Sauce, cooking wine, oregano, thyme, fennel seeds, Bay leaf, cracked pepper, basil and gumbo file.
First I opened the can and dumped it into a bowl. I removed the fat, then used the meat and juice to start the stew along with the above ingredients.
I cooked it on low for about 4 hours and the taste was AWESOME. There was so much meat, I wish I had used only half a can and more veggies. It was as if the meat expanded as it cooked, not sure how that works, but we were amazed at the heartiness of the stew and the mountain of beef.
I had to search all over the internet to finally find a delightful article about this company and the 4th generation decedents now running the butcher shop and cannery.
I've tried their ground beef and this regular beef, I give both 5 stars.
I just wish they had better pricing or a case deal at a discount.
The quality and taste were excellent. I love the convenience. I travel in a motorhome and many times I am camping far from stores. My refrigerator is small. Being able to have beef on the shelf, ready to eat, is awesome. I've also made instant BBQ with this, just heat with BBQ sauce and serve over rice or on a bun. Awesome and quick.
I plan to keep this around as a staple.
