Knorr Demi-glace - Mare749 - 10-13-2011
Recently, I asked Jean for help making a large quantity of gravy and she recommended this product. Well, I finally picked it up today at GFS for $18. Not bad at all, especially since it makes 2 gallons of gravy!

Hope you're f-i-l likes the gravy, Maryann!! it sure works well for me in so many cases.

Oooo!! Oooo!! Oooo!! Is this stuff good??? How do you use a demi-glace? I was so hoping to find it somewhere because Wegman's really pushes their own brand, which is pretty good, but not the brand name I'm looking for.

Ok, Maryanne, What store is GFS? Jean, what store do you get it from around here?
Is it dried, frozen, or refrigerated?
My kids LOVE gravy!

I've been looking for years! I figure I'll have to get it online. I keep forgetting. BTW, I've been meaning to ask, or have I, what is the main difference between this and the Tones Beef Base that I use?
Re: Knorr Demi-glace - BarbaraS - 10-13-2011
Well I see D'Artanguan's (sp?) Duck Demi Glace all the time at Wegman's all the time. If anyone needs a tub - I think it's like 4 or 6 oz - I can shoot you one frozen.
And then I have the "Better Than"... boullion base that I use.

Knorr's demi glace is in powder form and it makes wonderful beef sauces. I pick mine up at Cash & Carry. Probably most restaurant supply places will have this. It's a wonderful product.

I just saw two new products at the store. I picked one up to try.
Knorr Homestyle stock It is a small(like 1/4 cup) container (4 in package). It comes in beef too. Looks like it might make a good quick gravy.
And,
Swanson's Flavor Boost. Not sure if they do quite the same thing or not. And I didn't look very close at the nutrition/sodium/ingredients on them. But thought they both looked interesting. I picked up the Knorr brand to try out making a gravy.

Sorry, Erin, I just saw this now. GFS is Gordon Food Service, however it is open to the general public, unlike some of the other food service companies. I guess they haven't found there way out west just yet.
Just want to add a note here that we were very happy with the results of the Knorr demi-glace. My dad was especially happy with the flavor. I made up 2 quarts and poured it into small freezer jars so that he could take one out as needed when he has a meatloaf of roast beef.
One last note. This product works out to be 7 cents per ounce and a name brand jarred gravy is 12 cents per ounce, so it's actually less expensive in the long run and tastes a lot better.

I bought both flavors - especially when I had $2 off coupons. We used one of the beef ones in osso bucco a couple of weeks ago.
