To assess the quality of commercial bases for chicken and beef stock, check the ingredient list for natural, whole ingredients and a minimal presence of artificial additives or preservatives. High-quality bases typically feature real meat, bones, and vegetables, while lower-quality options may rely on flavor enhancers like MSG. Additionally, consider the flavor intensity and richness when diluted; a good base will have a robust taste that enhances dishes without overpowering them. Lastly, look for products with a high protein content, as this often indicates a more concentrated and flavorful stock.
The main and possibly the only advantage to using commercial stock bases is to save time. If you don't have time to make your own stock, and most of us don't have that time or don't want to go to the trouble, there are really good quality liquid stocks on the market, which have good storage life and don't need refrigeration until opened, and which in flavour and nutritional value, not to mention integrity of ingredients, far surpass dried and cube stock bases, which generally produce what can only be described as flavoured hot water. Personally, I'd use plain water before I'd use a 'stock' cube or powdered 'stock'. If your other basic ingredients are good, and properly cooked, you'll still end up with a flavourful dish.
