Oxo Beef Cube ... braises and to make gravy, but equally good crumbled directly in mince dishes such as Shepherd's Pie and Spaghetti bolognaise to add a rich beefy taste. Oxo is England's favorite bouillon cube. It crumbles and dissolves easily to make a rich clear beef stock. Each cube makes approx 1/2 pint.

 ... ubiquitous cube gives appetizing enhancement to any soup, tinned or homemade. And, to really make that roast chicken a mouth-watering delight; try crumbling a beef Oxo cube over the skin, prior to cooking. Oxo can also help in cutting down saturated fat intake. Ever thought of making a Shepherd's/Cottage Pie with turkey mince instead of lamb or beef? Turkey mince is an altogether healthier, low-fat meat, and the inclusion of a beef Oxo cube flavours it to the extent that many people would not be able to tell the differ...more

Oxo Beef Cube: A British institution! (426 words)

Oxo cubes are one of those food stuffs that many of us use on a near daily basis and yet they have become so part of the national diet that we don't even notice anymore what these little cubes contribute to our everyday meals. I have to say I love them because they enhance the flavour of the meal without overpowering the natural flavourings of the food on the plate. I predominantly use the beef Oxo cubes and the chicken Oxo cubes.....but as this review is just about the beef cube I will stick with that one! These cubes are, unsurprisingly(!), cube shaped and are covered in silver foil to keep them fresh and dry until they are to be used. They come stored ...  Read the complete review

Oxo cubes really are a great produce and can be added to so many foods to give them that little extra added taste which goes along way. I also find they disguise other tastes in dishes which can be great if the particular dish isn't the best tasting. To add the cube to your foods it is easy to just crumble the cube straight into your ingredients. You can buy oxo cubes in all major super markets and also most corner shops and smaller retailers will also stock these. It almost seems that Oxo cubes have been a big part of shops for many years. You can buy oxo cubes in a variety of pack sizes, the cube itself is about twice the size of a standard ...  Read the complete review

Oxo Beef Cube: Great little oxo cube with a big impact flavour (353 words)

I personally love oxo cubes, theres so much you can do with them. I usually purchase these in bulk, they have a long shelf life and are often on offer in one shop or another. I usually pay £1.50 for 2 boxes, in each box there are 12 cubes individually wrapped in foil. They used to be square and I thought this was better, now they look like an X and although they state its the same size, I feel as if I`ve been cheated somehow. The box is the same size as the old box but now I think there lots of air in the gaps of the X. Silly I know but thats my view. They are so easy to use and crumble into all types of dishes, when I make instant gravy, I ...  Read the complete review

I use beef Oxo cubes for loads of things, obviously making gravy is the main use for them but you can also add them to stuff like spaghetti bolognese and chilli con carne to give the sauces a meatier flavour. Oxo have recently changed the shape of their cubes so they have more of an X flavour instead of being a plain square. This is good because it means if a recipe says you need just 1/2 a cube then you can more easily cut it in half. I've also noticed that they crumble a lot easier since they changed the shape of them. Another thing I love about Oxo cubes is that you can dissolve one in a mug of boiling water for a filling drink that will warm ...  Read the complete review

Oxo Beef Cube: Very beefy indeed!! (354 words)

As far back as I can remember all my family has used beef oxo's for cooking with and making gravy. Im sure everyone will have come across these in their lifetime but in case some of you have not, Oxo's are beef stock cubes that can be used either for making gravy or stock, you can also crumble a cube directly into your cooking to add extra flavour. I bought 12 stock cubes from Tesco for 71p, I find this is great value as we don't use them very often, therefore a box of 12 will last us a good few months. The box itself is bright red in colour and has the world famous Oxo logo around the box in large white letters. On the back of the box it states that each ...  Read the complete review
