A New Low?

Massel Easy Onion and Garlic Cubes. Onion. In a cube. Garlic. In a cube.

From the Massel website:

"No Trans Fats
All Natural
No Preservatives
No Frying required
No Peeling required
No Chopping required"

Hear that, guys? NO TRANS FATS! They must be good!

Now I don't actually have a major problem with pre-bought stock, which is what I knew Massel for previous to this ad screening on the telly. Massel's stock powders and cubes aren't actually that bad - and despite what the kitchen nazis will tell you, not everyone has the time or energy to dedicate to making stock themselves. But this is a whole other kettle of fish.

If you don't have time to chop an onion, you don't deserve to cook. These cubes make Rachael Ray look like Escoffier. A new low? A NEW LOW.
