 Amazing, so much better than expectedNov 15, 2009
By K. McCarthy
"Master of Reality"
I must say, I was hesitant to order a "tub" of demi glace base, but I just don't have the time or inclination to make my own these days.
I received the product a few days ago, ordered 2 tubs of Demi-Glace Gold and a tub of their Chicken Demi (I know, but I figured why not?)
Opened up the Demi-Glace Gold, and could immediately tell this wasn't just some "base". The aroma is rich, not over powering, and has a very dense gelatinous texture.
I made a roasted chicken that evening and decided to do a quick Cabernet and Port wine reduction, just simple to check out the new product.
Made the Demi per the instructions (1T to 4T water, heat for 5 mins), then added it to the wine reduction (another 4T of reduced liquid or so), then added another 4T of chicken stock (just good Chicken stock, not the Chicken DemiGlace I mentioned earlier), let this simmer while whisking over a med-low heat for about 3-4 minutes while it all pulled together.
A tiny dash of Kosher salt, and time to serve.
The end result was absolutely amazing, and the DemiGlace Gold performed every bit as good as a homemade DemiGlace. The sauce had that wonderful shine to it, that extra richness that you can't get without a Demi, the right texture, it was bright and complex. Every bit as good as a sauce made with homemade demi.
This product is the real deal, or as close as it's going to get. It is an amazing time saver, and for the price it's worth every penny.
If you are like me and hesitated, wondered if it would be worth the money, wondering if it tasted "fake" or was otherwise a waste of money, do yourself a favor and get this product.
(Note to those not familiar with Demi Glace, this is not a "base" per se, and while I guess you could use it as one, I recommend using it to create sauces, experiment a bit, and you'll find that soon, using demi glace, you'll be creating sauces that are every bit as good as anything you'll find in an expensive restaurant. It's a great way to experience what that "special something" in gourmet sauces is, without having to make your own demi, and without having to invest a few days to make it yourself)

A hard to find product that is economicalJan 09, 2010
By Bryan R. Walker
If you are looking for something that will add flavor to your cooking, the Demi Galace is what you are looking for.
Some time ago, I purchased 4oz of Demi Glace from a well known merchant, for $30, my family and I found the flavor excellent. This product is also in the $30 range but you get 16oz making this the most economical way to purchase Demi Glace.
You could make your own, but it takes 2 days and constant attention.
There are other verities of Demi Glace for poultry, vegetable and fish so what ever you are cooking, you can add remarkable flavor with almost no effort.
If you can't use the full 16 oz at once (unless you are a restaurant you wont) you can freeze it and it will keep for months.

Instant DemiGlasApr 03, 2009
By S. Dickson
"Bay Island Co."
I've used this product for over 10 years and never found a better base. Easy to use and no salty taste. I use it several times each week, and tho a bit pricey, it's worth every cent. Buy the big size, as it keeps forever. Highly recommend.

Expensive but worth itJul 26, 2010
By Michael G. Lustig
MTG has the best concentrates in my opinion. The Demi-glace gold is a combination of veal and beef. I wouldn't use this on chicken but it's great for any red meat or pork.
To my fellow reviewer who prefers W&S stock; I just went to the kithen and tasted W&S Veal Stock concentrate and than MTG Demi-glace gold. In my side-by-side comparison, the MTG concentrate tasted much better and is less expensive. The W&S stock has much more sodium. I can always add salt but I can't take it out.
Refrigerated, this concentrate lasts at least 6 months. It is not necessary to freeze it unless you won't use it that quickly. If you have any doubts about the quality, get the 1.5 ounce size which can be found at better grocery stores for a few dollars.

Really Great IngredientFeb 10, 2010
By GPS guy
Sure it's expensive but it's less expensive than Williams-Sonoma's version and it takes very little product per serving. I've been using it for at least 3 years to make sauces that simply aren't possible any other way.
