I have tried both the Fab B, and Fab B lite.... and tried cutting with other liquids.... I chose "like" above only because I don't "hate" it. Jury is still out for me. I have had both good and bad results. Regardless of taste - I think it can make the slices appear "dry" - even though they are not. Hard to explain, other than to show it to you. Jeff has seen what I am talking about too -- Jeff, got a good discriptive way to describe what the Fab does when it makes the slices look dry?

I'm still playing with it, but have not found a consistant return from it.

I will say that most of the people I know of that have used it ,are very opinionated about it one way or another...strange effect this concoction seems to have on people.....maybe vodoo ...hehehe

We use both products in competition.

I don't use is at home...too farkin' expensive. Also, it does leave an aftertaste in the meat - especially if you save the meat and freeze it.

I cant say that I hate it, or even like it. I am indifferent to it. From a comp standpoint I think it is a good product. For eating purposes I think it does something to my stomach, could just be me...

I have used it at least five times with good results, the secret is what to mix it with and how much to use.

I was thinking of trying it, but as stated above it is not the cheapest thing so I wanted get your current thoughts. Ok should I get reg or light. And does it come with recommendations on amount to use etc.
