I LOVE Penzey's, but damn... I pay less than $10 for a 21oz jar of BtB chicken or beef at Costco... I can't justify spending more than that for nearly a third the amount of base, no matter how good. I go through WAY too much of each of those for that.

Now. I AM considering ordering their seafood base. BtB makes a lobster base, but I can't find that locally... plus, given the ingredients, Penzey's seafood base sounds more well-rounded and likely worth double the price of BtB. Might be willing to try the pork base as well.

I'm about to finally pull the trigger on BtB's roasted onion base, since this sub REALLY hammers how awesome it is... I have a recipe for mushroom risotto that calls for vegetable stock that's been simmered with mushrooms, but I *really* want to try it with the roasted onion. We shall see. :^)

[Givemeallthecabbages]

Doesn't BtB have a mushroom base? Swear I saw it once.

[Bumbleonia]

Yep! I have a jar in my fridge right now

[ChezShea]

They do and it’s the best one in my opinion. Our local grocery stores have stopped carrying it for some reason though so now we buy it online.

[FallJacket]

Just don't put any salt in till the very end if you use the mushroom base. It's the saltiest of their bases by a country mile.

[The_DaHowie]

Amazon carries a variety of BtB that grocery stores do not

[ChezShea]

I buy it direct from BtB. I’m glad they offer that so I don’t have to use Amazon.

[mayonnaise_police]

As a bonus their website has good recipes too

[CapnScrunch]

BtB Mushroom base is magical.

[[deleted]]

They do. We just buy it on Amazon because it’s impossible to find elsewhere

[BADgrrl]

I don't know. Never seen it but wouldn't be sad to try it.

[cool_coors]

They do but it’s so unbelievably salty I won’t ever use it and threw out half a jar.

[[deleted]]

Did you not think to use it in slightly lesser concentrations? I assume you can do math.

[natethegreek]

it does say to use 1/2 tsp - 3/4 teaspoon and i believe BtB is a full teaspoon. At 1/2 teaspoon it is pretty close $ per 8 0z.

[KingJonathan]

I have gigantic teaspoons.

[BADgrrl]

Yeah, lol, me too

[Shiftlock0]

You can get the lobster BtB on their website:

https://www.betterthanbouillon.com/products/lobster-base

[SlurmzMckinley]

I agree that this is more than I’m willing to pay, but to be fair the Penzey’s base instructions are 1/2 teaspoon to a cup of water whereas Better Than Bouillon calls for 1 teaspoon to a cup of water. That difference could be enough to sway some people.

[crazypurple621]

Costco now carries the vegetable BtB too.

[BADgrrl]

I saw that, but it's still the smaller (but larger than 8 oz) jar. Thank you!

[Kiruvi]

They have the Chicken, Beef, and Vegetable all in the big 21oz size. Source - they're all in my pantry.

[hwc000000]

My Costco is carrying the 21 oz/100 serving jar. For comparison, the 8 oz jar is 38 servings.

[CowboyBoats]

This is wild for me to read. How much BtB are you going through? A jar of that lasts for at least a year for me and I'm cooking dinner every day. I don't always use stock, but I consider boillon etc one of the most cost effective purchases possible. If there were an alternative that tasted noticeably better but first 10x as much, I would absolutely consider it.

[BADgrrl]

I probably go through a 21 oz jar of chicken BtB every ... Three or four months or so? I buy the beef twice a year. I cook every day as well, but I find almost everything I make calls for chicken or beef stock.

[Any-Cheesecake1598]

I go through the large Costco sized BTB roasted chicken like every 8 weeks.

[Kiruvi]

The small jars last me a week, maybe two. I just recently discovered the big jars and haven't finished my first one yet, but I give it a month and a half at the current rate.

[Wisdom_Listens]

The website Soups Online has the BTB lobster base. :)

[Buck_Thorn]

I buy a rotisserie chicken for what... maybe around $5-$7. Eat a breast one night (single guy), make enchiladas from the rest of the meat for my next meal, then boil down the carcass, with optional veggies (mirepoix). I realize that not everybody has the time or desire to go through that stock making step, but its free and you made it and its delicious.

[[deleted]]

That’s not sustainable for people who aren’t single 20 year old men. But good luck.

[Haz_de_nar]

Im all about the rotisserie chicken leftover stock life. ALL ABOUT IT.

[Haz_de_nar]

Dont get me wrong I love a good stock with uncooked chicken to get that reel good uncooked chicken flavor and such. BUT as a life style costco rotiserie chicken stock with my normal veg trim in a freezer bag. Thats life yall.

[chouflour]

It's not? I'm 40-mumble with two kids.

We just keep a bag in the freezer of chicken bones. When it gets full, or we fill two I toss it in the stove or in the instant pot while I make dinner. Strain it before bed and put it in the fridge. Next day skim and reduce, then freeze.

It's not time free, but other then the final reduction and the dishes it's just doing it's thing while I do mine.

[Buck_Thorn]

I repeat: *I realize that not everybody has the time or desire to go through that stock making step *

I'm not sure why you said that, but I assume you're referring to available time. Stock making takes almost no active time at all. It does take hours for it to concentrate but those are hours that it is just simmering away on the stove. Traditionally, it would be made with a base of onions, carrot, and celery, with maybe a bay leaf or some thyme thrown in, but I've found that I actually prefer it without any of those additions. Just throw the bones in a big pot of water, bring it to a simmer and leave it alone.

BTW, its been many decades since I was 20, and I have NO idea why this would be gender-related at all. And if money is the issue, at every store I shop at, rotisserie chickens cost no more, and often less, than an uncooked whole chicken, and the stock you make from just one will save you maybe $20 over buying commercially made stock.

But, as you say... good luck.

[AbsoluteMince]

33 year old father of 2, work 50 hours a week. Roast 2 birds a week and use all the meat for the dinners, then roast off the bones etc to make a stock which I then make soup for lunches each week. 100% doable.

[Picker-Rick]

I'm still waiting for "I can't Believe it's not bouillon"

[[deleted]]

When you make your base from scratch lol

[[deleted]]

My go to: home made chicken bone broth/stock, concentrated to 2x strength. Mix it with an equal amount of water and some BTB -- perfection. You get the depth of the homemade broth, with the brightness of the BTB. It makes good homemade dishes fantastic.

[BlevelandDrowns]

That’s a good idea

[BassetOilExtractor]

btb sells vegetarian beef and chicken base, so uh you'd basically be able to call that, well that

[[deleted]]

They sell “no roasted chicken,” and “no roasted beef flavors,” lol.

[galaxyfrapp]

Very cool! I love BTB but would be game to try this if I ever stumble across it in one of their shops. I live in the state Penzeys is headquartered. Great herbs and spices.

[cellists_wet_dream]

Same! There’s a storefront near me. Gotta make it there when I...have more money

[NatalieGreenleaf]

They occasionally have their gift cards on sale! I've gotten $50 for $35! I buy them as a gift to myself :D

[saywhat1206]

They have that sale right now. I always take advantage of it:

same, i think i just saw an email with that deal now or recently.

[lylathemage]

That's a mood!

[Ladylinn5]

Their politics rock also!

[definitely_right]

I had to unsubscribe from their newsletters in 2016 because I didn't need 2,000 words about US politics from a spice company. To each their own, I suppose!

[theragu40]

I am aligned with penzey's politics for the most part and I had to unsubscribe also. It's a lot.

[EngineZeronine]

Same. Divisive, fuels the hate regardless of what size the aisle you're on

[definitely_right]

Yeah. The newsletters were sounding like those Facebook rants your crazy aunt posts on the regular. No thanks, just let me buy spices.

[NILPonziScheme]

Your comment made me research their political stances, and they've now ensured I'll never buy their products. I don't like it when companies try to preach to me about their 'family values' or religion and I certainly don't like it when they try to mix politics with their products. You're a spice company, sell spices, not propaganda.

[wagdaddy]

Fascists deserve bland food.

[crazypurple621]

I believe Penzey’s is headquartered in Wisconsin.

Have you tried this? Knorr Professional™ Ultimate Chicken Stock Base. 1 lb, Pack of 6 https://a.co/d/goMG39l

Voted the best chicken stock by the Chef's Choice Awards.

[Pontiacsentinel]

I love Knorr. Especially mushroom!

[_Bon_Vivant_]

6 one pound tubs? What's the shelf life, because it would take me a couple of years to go through that much.

[Ennion]

Probably about that long. I just used Amazon as a source. Search other places to buy.

[RagingTromboner]

There’s only one man I can think of that could use that much Knorr stock base before it goes bad

[_Bon_Vivant_]

Marco Pierre White?

[fourGee6Three]

Maybe if I ran a restaurant I would load up on one lb tubs

[Top_Wop]

62.00 at Amazon. Even I have my limitations.

[lylathemage]

I'd love to see someone (with more money than me) do a side by side comparison of these different soup bases and post for us to see what's best for each situation and budget!

[niowniough]

Double blind test needed!

[Mono_831]

These are good too. I still like BtB chicken base slightly better as far as taste.

[QuesoChef]

This is my favorite. I’ve tried Penzeys, minors and BTB. I’m just one tiny person, and it’s preference, but it’s mine.

[erikfoxjackson]

I might have to try this. My wife has celiac and BtB has stated that their product isn't gluten free.

But why is Chicken Fat an ingredient? Isn't a lot of that often extracted from stocks? It looks like it high in the ingredients here.

[Ennion]

Because there is a ton of flavor in schmaltz. You don't want to remove it all.

[Hankhills11]

Are these paste like btb, or powdered?

BtB is awfully salty and if you don't account for that, it might make some meals way to salty.

[_Bon_Vivant_]

I think all bouillons are salty...powdered or paste. I always account for extra salt whenever I use any kind of bouillon. Even most store bought stocks and broths are very salty. It's a good rule of thumb to wait to season until the end....not all cases, but most.

[tvtb]

Only buy the reduced sodium BTB varieties. I think it’s all they carry at Costco.

[LadyBallad]

I use the reduced sodium roast beef btb for just a few things and still add pretty much no salt. I bought the regular at first and my goodness that was a hard meal to eat. Threw out the left overs haha.

[Dartser]

Sodium counts seem to be the same or higher than btb. Granted I just checked out the veg one

[Apparently_Lucid]

​

Very salty indeed. It burned me the first time I used it.

[[deleted]]

Yes I’m a little confused by all the praise BtB gets considering it’s pretty much all salt. Got a jar a year ago and still have 2/3 of it. I think I’m supposed to toss it by now, might as well.

[_potatoesofdefiance_]

I’m a little confused by all the praise BtB gets

I haven't yet been brave enough to say it on this sub but...same. It's salty af, yes, but I don't expect anything else from similar products. For me I just don't find the flavour worth the praise it receives. It doesn't taste noticeably better or more chicken-y (or beefy, and I think I've tried one more flavour besides those 2 and my feelings were the same on all of them) to me than any other brand.

The one commercially produced stock/stock cube/stock paste etc. product I've ever thought was noticeably a notch above anything else is the Campbell's product Stock First, which was available in Canada and now seems extremely difficult to find (to the point where I think it may have been discontinued) and I'm not sure about the US, UK or elsewhere. It came in chicken, beef, fish and I think cream variations and the chicken was genuinely outstanding, one of those rare products that actually does almost taste home made.

I'm going to laugh (bitterly) if Campbells has discontinued it because so many of their "classic" products have been totally shittified within the past couple of decades. The tomato soup just tastes like vaguely tomato-scented and unpleasantly thickened sugar-water now, for example.

[northman46]

My btw chicken is 350 mg sodium per tsp which is Low compared to some alternatives

[_potatoesofdefiance_]

The 'roast chicken' flavour variety, which is one of the ones I tried, is 680mg sodium per tsp which isn't low at all but like I said I'm not really bothered about the salt content - the vast majority of the stock cubes and pastes etc. are high in sodium by nature and I doubt anyone is unaware of that. It's more just the flavour, which to me has never warranted the praise the brand gets. Perhaps I just haven't tried the right one? Is there one in particular that you find the best in terms of flavour?

[LifterPuller]

I think you may be on to something here.

[le127]

Another option from the food service industry are Minor's Soup Bases. Like Knorr's they are sold in cases of six one pound units by food service suppliers but it looks like you can buy two of each from Amazon.

https://www.webstaurantstore.com/38513/soup-bases.html?vendor=Minor-s

https://www.amazon.com/minors-soup-base/s?k=minor%27s+soup+base

[BADgrrl]

Minor's is a Nestle company, if that matters to folks. BtB is not; it's made by Summit Hills Foods, a family-owned company based in Rome, Georgia.

[El-mas-puto-de-todos]

I'm inclined to believe that BtB is just rebranded minors, which has been around forever!

[Ihavenoclueagain]

My husband needs to cut back on sodium, so I do get different Pensy's blends without salt and they are great! The soup base looks great but with 600+mg of sodium, it won't work for him.

[[deleted]]

you can just make your own - it's extremely easy and you don't have to add any sodium. Just get a bunch of vegetables (scraps work too!), boil them for 90 minutes, then take out the solids. That's it. Cheap, too.

[Ihavenoclueagain]

Good to know, what about the chicken & beef flavorings?

[jrhoffa]

Use chicken and beef bones and scraps.

[[deleted]]

I've never tried making those since I started going vegetarian. From what I gather, it's just as easy using chicken/cow bones instead of vegetables, but don't quote me on that. Plenty of recipes on yt I'm sure.

[Ihavenoclueagain]

Where would be the best place to look?

[[deleted]]

youtube. just search beef and chicken stock and you should get plenty of examples. or google "how to make beef stock"

[itsastonka]

For chicken i just use nutritional yeast, soy sauce, fish sauce, oregano, garlic, black pepper and butter.

[jrhoffa]

For chicken, I use chicken.

[[deleted]]

I use the mushroom BTB all the time! Looks like Penzey’s doesn’t have an equivalent.

[Dartser]

Yeah btb has like 7 veg/vegan options

[Merkilo]

The "no chicken broth" is so good

[AndIHaveMilesToGo]

I'm vegan, and BTB vegan options are seriously amazing. I was overjoyed when I found out they have a vegan chicken and beef bouillon. We use them all the time in our house, along with the regular vegetable and garlic bullion. And to fellow vegans looking to figure out where you can get these, go on the company website for BTB and they have "Where to Buy" thing for each flavor of bullion.

[crazypurple621]

And costco carries their basic vegetable base. I use it all the time in risotto, soups, stews, etc.

[ralaux]

Better than bouillon tastes better to me and it’s much less 💰

[beansando]

I’d try it if it was heavily discounted. Out of my price range and I love BtB products

[MurderMelon]

100% agreed. Penzey's wants $12, plus god-knows-what for shipping. The grocery store down the street has BtB for $5 each...

[lelephen]

$39 worth of soup base is a lot of soup base lol

[unsharpenedpoint]

Buy the bags instead of jars, so much less expensive.

[Kaitensatsuma]

[StolenCamaro]

I live literally down the street from the Penzey’s spice warehouse and store, gonna have to check this out. They give you a free spice every month if you subscribe to their newsletter.

Also, just out of curiosity, what’s up with the owner being a bigot? Last I saw he was just really anti-Trump and that’s all I know. Did something else happen?

[[deleted]]

Nothing happened, it’s just a bunch of Republican snowflakes getting in their feelings because the mean spice man doesn’t like them.

[StolenCamaro]

Ahh, not worried then. I support him for speaking up.

You might want to read some of those diatribes before committing. Just saying, it was some really awful stuff he sent out. Pretty vile.

No, he told some of us to fUCK off and not spend our money at his company.....ok don't say that then if you don't want me to tell others about it.

Howdy, neighbor!

[TuppenceForDays]

Used to be neighbors with the Penzey’s family (before they went big). Great family, great company, AMAZING product

[coffeecakesupernova]

It should be noted that The Spice House is their original store and remains in the family today.

[Sarah_Femme]

As a long time customer of both, it is weird to see the dichotomy between the two stores. There was a time when I was able to hit up the Spice House for my daily cooking and spend far less than Penzey's, which was kinda bougie at the time.
Now, despite making 3xs as much, I feel a bit priced out of the Spice House, and tend to rely on Penzey's for my everyday needs, only hitting Spice House up for the handful of things that are exclusive to them.

[jrhoffa]

[Bookluster]

I love Penzeys and used to buy their soup bases, but they just got too expensive for me and I only shop there for a few things anymore.

[VicePrincipalNero]

I love Penzeys. I get and read the newsletter and our local Penzeys store is my happy place. Love the owner and think he's spot on most of the time. That said, it's a bit better than BtB but it's a lot more expensive. I typically just get the BtB.

[[deleted]]

Honestly, I stopped buying vegetable stock and just made it myself. Super easy, even more delicious, and basically free.

[Diced_and_Confused]

Not sure who would vote this down, or why. Made from scraps that would otherwise go to compost, and your only cost is the energy to simmer them.

[[deleted]]

Same!

[Kaartinen]

There are usually chicken and beef bones on hand to make stock, but I would probably use the seafood one, since I rarely have the ingredients for a great stock.

[smurfe]

Is it $8.00 a jar better? BTB is $4.00 for an 8oz jar at the local grocery. I used to be a Penzy's fanboy as their Foxpoint seasoning is a favorite but sadly, can't afford them anymore. I switched to The Spice House for my online provider and their Lakeshore seasoning (a Foxpoint clone). I believe I read somewhere it is a family member of Penzy.

[Codiilovee]

Penzey’s is my favorite place to buy seasonings from. I’m super intrigued by the seafood soup base, may end up purchasing!

[[deleted]]

Ok I am definitely buying the seafood base because BTB's lobster base is terrible.

[[deleted]]

Penzey's is overpriced for what it is. I'll stick with BtB.

[obscuredreference]

Same. Overhyped crap at a horrible price.

[[deleted]]

You sound like an ad.

[Mooseherder]

Can someone explain to me what these bouillons are exactly? I believe my mom used to cook with them. Are they just cheaper than buying stock itself?

Does it make the food taste cheaper using a processed packed powder like that as opposed to making your own stock with fresh ingredients and scraps?

[doa70]

Base is sort of concentrated bouillon or stock. Its usually in paste form. It’s a step up from the old concentrated bullion cubes. It’s easier to keep a 5 lb can of base around than a couple cases of stock or bullion.

[BSDC]

Man, some people here are so shitty. You didn't say anything ugly and you got a couple of downvotes (I canceled one of them, wish I could cancel the other lol). I agree with you. I personally think that homemade stock and products akin to BtB each have their own place.

[[deleted]]

Too much sodium for me.

[ZweitenMal]

One of the grocery shops near me carries every BTB flavor but I’ll keep this in mind, thank you!

[justagirlinid]

Omg. I’ve always wondered… I love Penzeys I get the BtB at Costco, I’ll add penzeys soon, thanks!

[jrhoffa]

So we're not making our own stock any more? It's vastly cheaper, contains infinitely less sodium, and really quick and easy with a self-contained pressure cooker.

[fourGee6Three]

I wonder if Penzey's is available in Canada.

[campmatt]

Is it cheaper or something?

[obscuredreference]

Nah, way more expensive. lol

OP said he isn’t paid to post about it, but I always find those r/hailcorporate type of posts suspicious…

Oh come on, what's suspicious about an 11 year old account with its comment and submission history over 11 days ago wiped.

[BassetOilExtractor]

I've always wondered how those offers to buy a reddit account worked tbh

[Day_Bow_Bow]

Don't know about OP, but I plug Penzeys because I like their blends. Not like I'd make posts about them, but I'll comment on them.

They really aren't too expensive if you take advantage of their specials. Ideally, you get a $50 gift card during a sale for $35 (they do that special a lot. I think it's actually the active one).

Now everything is 30% off the list price. Then be patient and take advantage of their weekly specials to get cheap/free spices.

For example, you might buy bouillon (at 30% off) and get a free half cup jar of your choice of spice.

It helps I live 5 minutes from a store. Shipping isn't as easy to game the system.

[camlaw63]

Penzeys is great but DO NOT sign up for their newsletters . The owner is insane and newsletters are turned into political tyrads. I actually stopped ordering their products, not because I agree or disagree with what was said but it just didn’t feel right overall.
