Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce Review & Giveaway (2 Winners)

September 8, 2008 by Caryn 

*Update*

This giveaway is now closed!  The winners are Cindy Ellis and Sandra Melnick.  Congratulations!  

True confession:  I’d rather do laundry, vacuum, wash the dishes and pretty much anything else around the house than cook.  Believe me, this does not stem from a lack of effort.  I’ve just had one too many “dishes gone wrong.” My confidence in my ability to provide my husband with a meal he’ll actually eat has wavered. So when I was approached about reviewing Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce I didn’t hesitate for a second.  An all-purpose sauce I can grill, cook, AND marinate with?  Absolutely I’ll try it!  I can use it on steak, chicken, fries, hamburgers, and fish?  Hurry and and send it!  I can use it to flavor soups, stews, dips, and more?  Sold!  

We received The Original Country Bob’s Cookbook along with the two bottles of All Purpose Sauce to review.  One of the things I was most impressed with was how the founder has committed the company to Christ. Many of the recipes in the cookbook have Bible verses on the same page.  It’s so rare in today’s society for a company to dedicate it’s entire success to Christ.  

 

Country Bob’s All Purpose Sauce is “more than a steak sauce.”  I have to digress for a moment and inform you that I have no idea what a steak sauce is supposed to taste like because I don’t eat steak.  My husband, however, does eat steak and after trying the All Purpose Sauce, told me that it’s definitely not your ordinary steak sauce.  We decided to try marinate chicken breast in the sauce and bake it in the oven.  My husband is not the type to leave any meat unseasoned but for the purpose of retaining the true essence of the sauce, he let it “be.”  We were both very pleased with how flavorful and moist the chicken tasted.  It definitely enhanced the taste of the chicken without being overwhelming.  The sauce is tangy, versatile and healthy!  At 25 calories, the sauce is low in sodium and fat-free.  

The cookbook is a fantastic collection of Country Bob-inspired recipes.  I highly recommend getting it so that you can explore the numerous ways the sauce can be used.  Their Shrimp Scampi recipe sounds amazing!  You’ll also find recipes on the site.  Along with the All-Purpose Sauce you’ll find a spicy version, a barbeque sauce, and a seasoning salt.  You can purchase all of these products on the site or at a retail location near you.  

*Bonus*  Sign up for their newsletter and receive a coupon for a free bottle of All-Purpose Sauce (excludes Alaska, California, Hawaii, North Dakota, Oregon, and Vermont).    

Win It!  The company has graciously offered to give away 2 cookbooks valued at $22.00 each to two readers.  Simply head on over to the site and check it out.  Come back and leave me a comment with which sauce you’d like to try and what you’d use it on.  Comments will close on September 18, 2008 at 10 pm PST and I will announce the winner here the following day. One comment per person, please. US residents only. Duplicates and comments not including the above information will be disqualified. Comments are moderated. If you don’t see your comment in a reasonable amount of time, send me an email. Bloggers and non-bloggers may enter.

    I’d love to try their spicy barbecue sauce and I want to add it to pulled pork that I cook for a good 12 hours in the crockpot. It’s soooo good and I bet it would be even better with Country Bob’s Spicy BBQ Sauce!!!!!

    2 Angie on September 8th, 2008 2:20 pm

    I am torn so it would either be the BBQ or Spicy All Purpose sauce. We would try it on chicken or pork chops. Thanks

    3 Audra on September 10th, 2008 11:58 pm

    I’d try the All Purpose Sauce. I really like A-1 steak sauce instead of ketchup on french fries, and this sauce sounds like it would be great on fries, too.
