Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix, 28-Oz Canisters (Pack of 2)

My family and I travel frequently, and being a retired Chef, I still like to eat well, even on the go! We, my wife, and our twin son and daughter, travel and usually stay in nice "hotel" rooms WITH kitchens. So, preparing "scratch" sauces on the road is not convenient. With the Knorr Demi Glace, I can cook up a quick light brown gravy, or an elegant light brown sauce easily with this "instant" sauce mix. One can use this, to add flavor to everything from Chili, to Stoganoff, and many other dishes.

No, it won't replace the freshly scratch made Demi Glace. Nevertheless, it is a great QUICK substitute, and is also easily to convert into several different sauces with other ingredients.

Knorr's Demi-Glace is a pantry staple, but it seems to have been discontinued. What a pity! Whenever a dish needs a little something more, Demi-Glace is the place to start.

This stuff is a great shortcut for a light, rich brown sauce. Not a heavy thick gravy, but a rich glaze. It's beefy, but there are definite vegetable flavors that shine through. A spoonful of it adds a wonderful roundness to any beef recipes that have a sauce or gravy, or a spoonful can make an instant pan sauce with some drippings. I like to use it as a base for a marsala sauce, or a carmelized onion sauce for sauteed pork chops, since it's not as heavy as a gravy. You can do way more than just the standard sauce directions.

Perfect for any type of beef. I've used this mix for years and wish it were sold in smaller packets. The taste is just great!

Want Knorr Demi-Glace Sauce Mix, 28-Oz Canisters (Pack of 2) Discount?

We purchased this product through Amazon and received it promptly on May 16, 2012. When it arrived, we looked everywhere on the canisters to find the expiration date. None was visible, so we thought perhaps the date was contained within the coding numbers on the bottom of the canisters, but the information was indecipherable to us. We called Knorr Swiss directly for assistance. We were told that KNORR SWISS DISCOUNTINUED THIS PRODUCT IN 2004, and since the maximum expiration date on these sauces is 2 years past the manufacture date, they were seriously expired, and we were told that under no circumstances should this product be used for food preparation. We logged onto our Amazon account to return the product, but were told the product was not eligible for return. We then contacted Amazon by phone and, as usual, they were extremely gracious and co-operative. They confirmed that grocery items are not eligible for return, but immediately processed a full refund for the amount of the purchase to our credit card account. Amazon assured me they would deal with the vendor on this issue, and I trust that they will. In the meantime, be aware that this is not a safe food product. The only reason I gave this even 1 star, is that the product review format will not allow for 0 stars.

Eden Foods Red Wine Vinegar Raw (3x16 OZ)

I lived in Greece for 10 years and I tried to find some quality red wine vinegar that tastes as good as that which I found in Greece. This has an excellent flavor and is made by a company with INTEGRITY! Kali Orexi!

I cut and pasted this from their website:

EDEN Red Wine Vinegar is made with patience. After the primary fermentation changing grapes into wine, a secondary fermentation uses oxygen to activate the acetobacter present in wine that changes the alcohol into acetic acid. This natural process takes about 100 hours until the acidity is at five percent. We never speed up fermentation with additives and never add sulfating agents. When fermentation is completed the vinegar is bottled in amber glass to protect its flavor and nutritional integrity. Perfect for salad dressings, marinades and for pickling.

EDEN Red Wine Vinegar contains 'mother' of vinegar, appearing as cloudiness in the final product. Its presence indicates raw unpasteurized vinegar, a traditional healthy food. Mother is actually cellulose produced by the harmless vinegar bacteria. Most manufacturers pasteurize vinegar to prevent these bacteria from forming mother while sitting on the grocery store shelf. This needless cosmetic practice kills the bacteria and denatures vinegar's health qualities.

'Vinaigre' in French means sour wine, reflecting the ancient discovery that a cask of wine gone past its time had turned to a wonderful new product. Vinegar has provided good health and zest to people for over 7,000 years.

Most commercial vinegars are highly denatured through the use of extreme heat and chemical solvents. Most wine vinegar contains sulfating agents. They are formulated rather than fermented and are not fit for human consumption although they make a fine window cleaner. For the flavor and benefit of true vinegar choose EDEN.

EDEN Red Wine Vinegar is excellent for making dressings, sauces, and in salsas. Try in Quinoa Salsa Salad in the recipe section of this site.

This is a great product and I highly recommend it. It taste really good and I love knowing it is naturally fermented.

Sharp, Provolone Piccante Cheese (8oz or 1lb)

This Sharp Provolone cheese is soooooo good. I have always been partial to the provolone cheese when I buy it at the deli in the grocery store, but that is Mild Provolone. When I saw that 'For The Gourmet' had Sharp Provolone on their list of available purchases, I was intrigued. I tried it, and boy, am I glad I did. I think it is much better than Parmesan in the tangy-ness and strong-ness you can get from just about any cheese. I think I even like it better than an extra sharp, or seriously sharp cheddar cheese. Although, those are really good, too. It ads so much flavor and you don't have to use much of it. That is why I like Parmesan, but Pramesan is so much harder and dryer. This will melt much better. Don't hesitate to try it. It is really delicious.

This is an incredible business. Or at least Brian Cardinale, the Director of Sales and Customer Support, is incredible. I ordered a cheese that was not to my liking, I made comment of it, and quickly received a response from Mr. Cardinale with a wish to rectify the situation. Mr. Cardinale provided me with options and one of them was a replacement with a product that hadn't been introduced yet. After my agreeing to this replacement I quickly received the product and it was indeed what I was originally looking for. While I haven't tried many of the products from this company before, this experience will certainly have me returning to them in the future. Terrific customer service!

Sherry Vinegar - Aged 8 Years - 12/12.7 oz

My grocery store stopped stocking sherry vinegar, so I went on line to see what I could find. For me, sherry vinegar is a necessity, as I use it in salad dressings, chicken saute, etc. and there really is no substitute for its special flavor. On a hunch I bought a case of this product and I am very glad I did. Very nice flavor and a super price--especially by the case---so I recommend this highly.
