Marmite

Options
Marmite comes in an unique style jar which can cause you to leave some in the jar when it appears to be empty and thus waste some of this wonderful product.

When your Marmite becomes low in the jar place the jar in a bowl of jug of hot water the Marmite will slide out of its hidden places and settle at the bottom of the jar, remove from hot water you can then continue to use tha Marmite for a few more servings.

Spread thickly on buttered toast, Mmmm lovely!
Waddle you do eh?

    Sometimes it's important to work for that pot of gold...But other times it's essential to take time off and to make sure that your most important decision in the day simply consists of choosing which color to slide down on the rainbow...

    I put the hot water in the jar, then use it with stock, soups, casseroles for an extra kick of flavour ;)

    i do the hot water thing, also do that with ketchup bottles, makes the sauce really nice for sausage casserole:) Jam or marmalade will all come out of the jar if u microwave it for 10 seconds.
    Then of course you will be saving the jars for making jam or pickles won't you...;)

    A tip I got from watching Nigella Lawsons tv programme:

    To make marmite easy to spread mix up a spoonful of marmite with some margarine/butter, makes it look a bit like peanut butter! No need to butter bread first either :)

    Can't stand Marmite on toast, but love it as a hot drink.....anyone else do this? I sometimes add a dollop of tomato sauce to it, it's scrummy!

    Never thought of adding tomato sauce to it as a hot drink! My daughter would love that as she consumes vast quantities of both :)

    When I was a vegetarian, I used to make gravy with vegetable juices, cornflower, and Marmite.
