- How much bouillon makes a cup of broth?
- About one teaspoon of granules per cup of hot water makes a light beef broth. Start there and add more to taste, since the mix is salty.
- Is this the same as beef stock?
- No. It is a concentrated seasoning with salt, beef flavor and hydrolyzed vegetable protein, not a simmered stock. Use it as a base or flavor booster, not a one-for-one stock substitute in delicate sauces.
- Does it need refrigeration after opening?
- No. Keep the jar sealed and dry at room temperature. Moisture is what makes the granules clump, so use a dry spoon.
- Is it gluten-free?
- Check the jar's allergen line before buying. Maggi bouillon formulations vary by region, and some contain wheat or barley derivatives.
- Can I use it in dry rubs or marinades?
- Yes. Crush or dissolve the granules first so they spread evenly. Reduce added salt in the rest of the recipe.
- How long does an opened jar last?
- An opened jar kept dry and sealed holds its flavor for months, generally up to a year. Discard it if it hardens into a solid block or smells stale.
