Why do oxo cubes always get sticky these days?

Yes, Katek, I think I might start doing that. Sure I've got a spare Mason Jar somewhere.

I decant mine into a glass storage jar with an airtight lid and they last ages. Might be worth trying

If they get the least bit of air into the foil, they go all gooey.

I don't think they crumble like they used to but at least they're not rock hard like some of the cheaper supermarket ones.

It's mainly the chicken ones that I have the problem with, but the beef ones are almost as bad. The last box of chicken ones had to be thrown out because they weren't just sticky, they had virtually liquefied inside the foil wrappers . I'd had them a few weeks, but they were well within their use by date.
I can rarely crumble an oxo cube into a casserole these days. Lynda Bellingham would be furious .

I think they don't tell you to crumble them any more, but to put boiling water on them (but I could be wrong). The chicken ones have always been less crumbly.

I find that chicken Oxo's are often more spongy than crumbly. They just won't .... crumble!

No indinana, I use them sometimes but they aren't sticky.
