Adding Iodine to the Tetrathionate Broth, actually helps form the tetrathionate and this suppresses the growth of commensal intestinal organisms. This helps in the isolation of Salmonella sp. that are in small numbers and compete with the growth of intestinal flora.

Can you substitute beef broth for condensed beef broth?

You could, but how you do it depends on your recipe. (I'm assuming here you want to substitute Swanson's for a more concentrated broth like Campbell's). If the recipe says add water to dilute the concentrated broth, obviously you wouldn't want to do that with the Swanson's. You'd just add the same total volume of liquid called for in the recipe. If you really wanted to be a purist, you could always concentrate the regular beef broth by reducing it down in a saucepan, or you could purchase a jar of beef base and add a little to the broth to give it a more concentrated beef flavor (but be careful how much you add, it can also add a lot of salt).

How do you make moist cornbread?

You can make your cornbread dressing more moist by adding more broth to the recipe. When you pour the dressing into the baking pan, if you have a little broth standing on top, it should turn out moist. Another way is, when you add the broth to the dressing mixture, stir it well, and let it sit for a little while to allow the cornbread to absorb the moisture. Then add more broth. I have also checked the dressing during baking, and if it seems to be getting dry, I drizzle broth over the top and put it back in the oven. The broth you add will absorb into the dressing.
