Has anyone else used these? I got a coupon a while back and decided to try it. I picked up the Garlic and Herb one and finally used it yesterday. TASTY!!!! It comes with 6 cubes and says to use 2 for 1lb of chicken. However, I used one cube for 3 thin sliced chicken breasts and it was more than enough. They have other flavors as well and I'm going to head to the store to pick some up. I believe it's only 80 calories per cube.

Seriously if you are looking for something super easy and very tasty go get some!

I'm sure it's good but..... We buy Land of lakes spreadable butter with olive oil. It's easy enough to mix garlic and/or other herbs with it. It's a simple matter of whether it's worth paying extra for. The latest trick by manufacturers is diluting their pricey products with less expensive fillers. Sometimes additives to increase profits. Not necessarily a gimmick since the end product might be well liked.

Has the price of butter gone thu the roof or what.

Bought some Irish Merrygold European style butter from Costco yesterday that was almost the same price as the Kirkland butter. Usually its 2 dollars more a pound.

Last year at this time I was picking up Costco butter for about a $1.50lb now its over 3.

$1.50 a lb. for butter?? That was dirt cheap. Not sure I've ever seen it that cheap. Saw these today in Wally's...

Actually it was $2 and I had a $1 off coupon so I really think it was a $1 well spent!!! Like I said there's 6 cubes in each package so you can use it six time or 3 times if you use two cubes. You'd really need a lot of chicken for 2 cubes though because they are good sized

At first, I thought the sautée express product was a sauce and not just a spice infused butter. I figured I could just use butter & herbs/spices & control the sodium better than a pre-packaged product.

Glad to hear you liked it.

At Sam's last time we were there butter was $4 a lb and Aldis was about the same. Our regular store here it is $5.00. I am hoping we can get it for less than $4 this weekend when we do our Sam's and Aldi's run. I guess while gas is going down, food just keeps going up.

These cubes may come in handy occasionally. Otherwise a dab of butter, a splash of olive oil and a bit of spice does the job.

Butter has gone through the roof. So has beef.

It always,drops during the winter in Calif. the number one producing dairy state in volume. But with the drought I'm thinking not this year. Price of feed has gone thru the roof.
