Review: It's great stuff makes everything taste 100xs better
Review: Le dá un mejor sabor a los platillos, en resumen concentra el sabor de las especias al cocinar. Tiene un sabor a sal, pero con una sensación a jabón al final (sugiero conocer el sabor para aprender a usarlo). No recomendaría usarlo como un suplente a la sal de mesa, pero si cambiar una porción de sal por ello. Un ejemplo sería usar 70% sal y 30% de el Glutamato Monosodico según la cantidad total; a final de cuentas es otra especia para cocinar. Aprender a cocinar se volvió más interesante. Quedé satisfecho con la adquisición de este producto.

If you've never cooked with MSG before, let me pull your coat to something. First off, MSG isn't the boogeyman. You'll find glutamate naturally occurring in stuff like mushrooms, tomatoes, parmesan cheese, soy sauce. Plenty of food contain glutamate, just some in higher concentrations than others. And even if you don't see MSG listed as an ingredient in food you buy from the store, there's more than likely a variation of it listed under another name (yeast extract, hydrolized soy protein, etc). Bottom line, people eat foods with glutamate all the time, whether they realize it or not. Moving on. What can MSG be used with? Honestly, most cooking. Although through trial and error, you'll discover which foods can benefit most from that "umami" (savory) taste. I use it when making chicken dishes, grilling steak, whipping up some scrambled eggs. I'll sprinkle it over potatoes I just diced, before frying them in the skillet. Soups and beef dishes seem to benefit most from it. But you have to know the trick to using it, and I'll explain it for you. The trick is, you really have to learn how to use MSG in conjunction with salt. Salt adds to the flavor of your meal, right? But add too much salt, and the meal is ruined. What MSG does, is work with the salt to boost flavor, make something more tasty. But it does it without giving the food that over-salted taste. To bring your meal to that magical level of super-tastiness but not over-salty, you have to find the right balance. Too much MSG won't enhance flavor, it may take away from it. Too little MSG, and you won't get the right "accent" to it. My method, and that of several restaurant cooks I know, is to keep the ratio of salt to MSG somewhere around 4:1. So let's say a recipe calls for five teaspoons of salt. You would use four teaspoons of salt, and one teaspoon of MSG. In my opinion, you'll get the best results if you hover around that ratio, and don't overdo it. Though some people who want to reduce their sodium intake, may even do a 1:1 ratio. So two teaspoons each of MSG and salt equally, if a recipe requires four teaspoons of salt. Others may add a half teaspoon of MSG per pound of meat used, or every four servings of soup/cooked food, on top of the salt needed. Remember, you're seasoning your food the way YOU like it, not me, so it's okay to experiment with how much MSG you use in place of salt when cooking. Now, here's a really useful tip that is a HUGE game-changer when it comes to cooking chicken in particular. Plan on baking, grilling, or frying chicken? You won't believe how amazing it tastes if you brine it first, using a salt/MSG solution. Let's say you have about two pounds of chicken to cook. You take two quarts of water, and mix it with six tablespoons of salt, and two tablespoons of MSG until dissolved. Pierce your chicken well with a fork, add it to the solution, and let it sit for at least an hour (you can do it overnight as well). Remove the chicken, and if using a dry rub, pat it dry first. NOTE: Some store chicken is actually pre-brined, check the label to find out. Brining it will make the chicken much more juicy and tender, and it will taste incredible. I'm friends with a cook who worked at the very first location of what today is a very successful fast food chain. I wondered what made their fried chicken so addictive, he explained that they used a salt and MSG brine before frying. Makes all the difference. Give it a try, see for yourself. Good brand of MSG, I'd recommend it.
