Exactly. Even the TV chefs use it. I will say that there is a great variation between the brands when it comes to taste but that's the beauty of it. Try different ones and find one that you like. |

Try different ones and find one that you like. What TV chefs? Food Network has very few these days. Most or all canned or boxed broth/stock also includes veggies, salt and other things. When I make broth or stock I use nothing but chicken and water and it's tastier than any commercial brand that I've ever tried. I haven't try all of them though...only about 4-5 brands. There might be some tasty ones but none of them are pure chicken broth. |

My point was that, even within the same growing field, some chillies of the same variety are hotter than others. Probably due to different micronutrients in different patches of soil, different amounts of sunlight and different amounts of water applied at different times. They seem to be very sensitive to those variations. "...trying to make small peppers" just means that the plants are still trying to produce, even at the end of the season. It's kinda like finding those stunted small green tomatoes still on the vines after the first plant-killing frost. The peppers will probably never mature. |

That may be the diff in organic peppers, but I suspect it's the nitrogen fertilizers and pest/herb-icides that make the diff in commercial ag products. Yesterday, I saw jalapenos as big as poblanos peppers. I suspect the japs were as hot as pabs, too. nb |

It's one I've never tried so I'll give it a go. At least 1st ingredient is chicken stock. It's still alot of vegetable stock too which I don't do. But hey... I'm also making my own chicken stock today. I'll compare the two tomorrow, then combine them both and freeze them for future use. |

Seriously, I don't think anyone would argue that canned is better than homemade, but...if I don't have stock in the freezer and want to use chicken stock in something that I'm making quickly, I will use canned and like it just fine.

What I've been doing for many years is the suggestions from Joseph Littleshoes from many years ago in another cooking ng. > Seriously, I don't think anyone would argue that > canned is better than homemade, but...if I don't have stock in the freezer > and want to use chicken stock in something that I'm making quickly, I will > use canned and like it just fine. I quit after tasting it plain years ago but my rant was actually not what it evidently appeared to be. I certainly don't care what others use. My rant was directed at a very few here that often say, "Why would you use that commercial crap when it's so easy to make your own?" Then they proceed to cut you down for using it. They were my targets. And I got a few of them to defend the canned broth. I've got ammunition now for the next time they cut down someone using commercial premade ingredients. Sadly, there's always some collateral damage when you do a troll like this and offend some innocents. |
