Does anyone know what it is, if it's kosher and if not, what would be a kosher equivalent? Thanks. Sun Sep 05 20:36:00 -0700 2004 0 charm city nosher 1 1438920 I am only familiar with OXO as the company that makes Good Grips brand kitchen supplies. What is the context of the recipe? Maybe that would help... Sun Sep 05 23:16:09 -0700 2004 1438917 0 DeisCane 2 1438924 Oxo cubes are gravy granules. They've been used in the UK for years. They are not kosher, but I would have thought any gravy/stock cube should do the job. Having said that, why not just make proper gravy rather than relying on the packaged stuff?

Since it's an ingredient in a lamb stew (Lancashire Hot Pot), I think we'll go for the packaged stuff instead of making our own.
