I will confess to being a bit of a foody. Though I am certainly no Masterchef, I really enjoy cooking and take a bit of pride in doing simple things well. My pet hate is ready meals and I do everything I can to avoid them at all costs! Oxo Vegetable Stock Cubes are a really easy and convenient way to add a hit of savoury flavour to a whole multitude of dishes. They are also fairly diverse. You can dissolve a cube into 350 ml of boiling water and you will have a rich and tasty stock which makes a fantastic base for soups, sauces and risottos. I am a massive fan of mince (especially pork or chicken) and by adding an Oxo Vegetable Stock Cube to the mince you ...  Read the complete review

My mum has started a healthy eating kick this week to bring the new year in and I've decided to join her for a couple of weeks because I've eaten so much crap over Xmas that I am craving healthy low fat food. Today she made a huge batch of vegetable soup to freeze so that there is always something homemade and healthy in there and when she was boiling the vegetables she added a couple of these Vegetable Oxo cubes to add some extra flavour. It's hard to describe the taste of them except that they taste a bit vegetabley when they have been dissolved in boiling water. These cubes don't crumble as easy as the beef ones but all you have to do is drop ...  Read the complete review

Oxo cubes have been around since 1910 & I've used them for many years in my cooking as, in my opinion, nothing else compares to the taste or quality of either the beef or the vegetable stock cubes. Luckily they're available in boxes of 12 - 2 for £1 - in one of our local pound shops so I've been able to stock up (excuse the pun!). Each box weighs 71g & contain little cubes all neatly wrapped in green & silver foil just waiting to be used. Both the beef & vegetable stocks are available in tubs but I find it uniquely satisfying to undo these little treasures. Although we're not strictly vegetarian in our family we don't eat a great ...  Read the complete review

Now I have been buying OXO cubes for years as my mum has and my dear nan did. They are so versatile and can be used for many different cooking dishes. Now the vegetable cubes come in the usual little square package in silver foil with OXO written all over it in green writing. It is very handy that each cube has the different coloured writing on as I keep my OXO cubes in a OXO tin that I got free some years back and it holds about 50 cubes. So at a glance I can see what ones I need that day for that particluar meal. Red for Beef OXO, Golden for Chicken OXO, Green for Vegetable OXO and Purple for Lamb OXO. These great little cubes can be found in ...  Read the complete review

I have just made a delicious turkey stew using Vegetable Oxo cubes as I'd run out of the Beef variety, the results were excellent and I shall certainly use these cubes again as I found the flavour didn't overwhelm the delicate taste of the turkey. I regularly use them in vegetable soup and sometimes crumble one into a spaghetti bolognese or vegetable lasagne. Also try adding one to the water you're boiling your veg for dinner in, the vegetables don't particularly soak up the flavour of the cube but there is definitely a minor difference in that this rounds off the natural flavours of them more. On the side of the box it tells me to dissolve one ...  Read the complete review
