Thanks for your comment. We do have a recipe on the website for making meat stock from scratch. this is quite long winded involving bones and boiling etc. The easiest way,as you say, is to use stock cubes (like Oxo or Knorr). I think that it says on the Oxo packet one cube to one third of a pint of boiling water (so three cubes for a pint).You could use more or less according to taste bearing in mind that the cubes are quite salty.

Hi Folks, This might look stupid to you but my question is: What is meat stock? Is it OXO cubes and if so, how much would I need to make a pint of stock? I am trying to make Brown Sauce. Regards, Noel
