where have i been? i've only just discovered this and i absolutely love it. I add it to just about everything home cooked as it really adds a little something. It is incredibly salty though but then i just leave out ordinary salt.
Anybody else love it?

    I tend to know what's in most stuff I eat..... As I tend to be generally careful I think a bit of 'crap' won't kill me!

    Also checkout their Chicken Granules. It's more like a powder and gives a nice flavour punch to dishes, especially stirfries. No MSG though ;)

    You can also just add it straight onto chicken breasts or make a paste with oil to marinade.

    No I dont mind the MSG at all. I know what it is and what it does. Last time I looked at Aromat the list of ingredients was full of hydrolised this and hydrogenated that.. Your list seems innocuous enough except the iodised salt can give you zits :)

    Used it for >30 yrs. even during their experimental phase when they added green bits to it (that didn't last long). Great on eggs and microwavable chicken and chips and fish.

    Today I tried the following
    Savoy cabbage very finely cut, nob of butter and a good sprinkling of aromat. Cover and put on a very low heat till the cabbage wilts in butter..... It was lovely:)

    The subtle psychology of the Power of Suggestion:
    I'd never heard of Knorr Aromat.
    I now have a little carton of it just because I saw it in Sainsburys this week and thought "I've heard of that".
    My wife asked "What's that for?"
    I said "I don't know yet".
    :)

    :D yikes, i hope you like it.....be adventurous with it and give the cabbage a try:)
    i tried it on poached eggs the other day, very nice!
    all i'd add is i've found there's no need to add salt when using Aromat.
