Hi, I wonder if you’ll see a comment to an old post.

I had a question about bouillon as I made a bunch using your “The Ultimate Vegan cookbook for IP.” If I use the bouillon cube with 2-3c water for any recipe I come across that asks for 2-3c Veg stock – is it exactly the same? Or am I losing something using bouillon? I much prefer the bouillon as it saves me a ton of space in the frig/freezer.

Thanks!

In reply to Felicity. That's correct if you are using a 4 quart slow cooker or smaller that doesn't run hot. Otherwise go ahead and add 1/2 cup water. I'd add the water if you're not sure if it runs hot or not the first time you make this.

Hi Kathy,

I love the premise of this but I too am confused by the instructions so it’d be great if you could clarify this for me – so if I choose the slowcooker method, do I cook all those veggies + herbs without any water in the slowcooker if doing it for the approx 8 hour period?

Regards,
Felicity

In reply to Ali. I usually use about 1 cube per 2 cups water, but if that's not strong enough you can always toss another one in the pot later.

This looks great, and I’m about to make your chickeny bouillon from the vegan slow cooker. I’m used to cooking with broth, though, so if a recipe calls for broth instead of bouillon, how much homemade bouillon + water would you use?

In reply to Kathi. You probably could make it that way. I'm not well versed in pressure cookers so I haven't tried it myself.

Could I do this in my electric pressure cooker too? I’d imagine that I could. Or is the cooking process what we’re looking for? I love making things in my PC. Split pea soup…don’t have to blend it…cooks it to mush already! lol
