To ensure your Knorr products maintain their optimal quality and rich flavour, store them in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, heat, or excessive moisture. Your kitchen cupboard or pantry is an ideal location. Once opened, we recommend resealing the packaging tightly and using the product within the timeframe indicated on the pack for the best results.
The primary difference between Knorr Stock Pots and Knorr Stock Cubes lies in their form and concentration. A Knorr Stock Pot is a concentrated jelly, crafted from slow-simmered ingredients to capture the rich, deep flavour of homemade stock. Knorr Stock Cubes, on the other hand, are compressed blocks of savoury powders. While both are excellent for adding authentic stock flavour to your dishes, Stock Cubes offer slightly more versatility for applications like marinades, rubs, and flavouring cooking water, whereas Stock Pots excel in liquid-based recipes.
Choosing between Knorr Stock Pots and Stock Cubes depends on your recipe and desired application. Knorr Stock Pots are perfect for enriching liquid-based dishes such as hearty soups, stews, and casseroles, dissolving easily to infuse a deep, authentic flavour. Knorr Stock Cubes, while also suitable for liquids, offer exceptional versatility for creating flavourful marinades, rubs for meats, or adding a savoury boost to rice and vegetable cooking water. Many Knorr recipes are designed to be flexible, allowing you to use either a Stock Pot or a Stock Cube to achieve delicious results.
While making stock from scratch by simmering vegetables, meat bones, and herbs for several hours can be a rewarding culinary experience, it is undoubtedly time-consuming. Knorr offers convenient and flavourful alternatives like Knorr Stock Pots and Stock Cubes, designed to deliver the rich, authentic taste of slow-cooked stock in a fraction of the time. Our products empower you to achieve delicious results quickly, making gourmet cooking accessible even on busy days.
Many Knorr products are proudly gluten-free, catering to various dietary needs. This includes popular options like Knorr Vegetable Stock Pots, Knorr Chicken Stock Pots, and several Knorr Stock Cubes (always check individual packaging). Products labelled 'Gluten-Free' by Knorr strictly adhere to the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulations, meaning they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten, which is considered safe for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. The presence of ingredients like barley, which may have been processed to remove gluten or is naturally very low in it, is permissible as long as the final product meets this stringent gluten-free threshold. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, please visit our dedicated product page where you can easily filter for gluten-free items.
Knorr is committed to offering delicious options for all dietary preferences, including a wide selection of vegan-friendly products. Our key vegan items include: Knorr Vegetable Stock Pots, Knorr Vegetable Stock Cubes, Knorr Florida Spring Vegetable Soup, and Knorr Onion Gravy Pots. These products contain no animal-derived ingredients and are perfect for plant-based cooking. Always look for the distinctive yellow Vegan icon clearly displayed on the product packaging to confirm its suitability.
Knorr products labelled 'Gluten-Free' strictly comply with the Food Information to Consumers (FIC) Regulations, ensuring they contain less than 20 parts per million (ppm) of gluten. This threshold is recognized as safe for individuals with coeliac disease or gluten sensitivity. If barley is present in a Knorr gluten-free product, it means the ingredient has undergone specific processing to remove gluten to below the 20 ppm limit, or it is naturally very low in it. Our commitment is to provide safe and delicious options that meet stringent gluten-free standards.
