oxo cube

An oxo cube, also known as a stock cube or bouillon cube, refers to a small cube-shaped solid food product made from dehydrated bouillon or stock. It is commonly used as a flavoring agent in cooking, particularly to enhance the taste of soups, stews, sauces, and gravies. Oxo cubes are typically made by compressing dehydrated meat or vegetable extracts, along with salt, seasonings, and other flavorings, into a convenient and shelf-stable form. Users dissolve an oxo cube in hot water to create a quick and easy broth or stock substitute for recipes.
