Good Buy
First time using Yeast, I am still getting to grips with proofing this. Considering the little amount you use in recipe it balances out the cost. Comes in a secure tin.

Very good product
I was not able to find this in my local shopsincluding Asda and Tesco. However it was available online, but at three times the original price. I am happy that Morrison is selling it on Amazon at a reasonable price. The order arrived in just one day. They have very long expiry dates. Happy with the purchase.

Best bread yeast
By far the best yeast. Been impossible to find lately but luckily I've had enough to keep us going. Hopefully it will be back on sale again soon

Good old fashioned dried yeast
Good old fashioned dried yeast. You can use just what you need by the spoonful rather a sachet. If you use it in place of fast acting yeast you need to reduce the amount of liquid for the recipe by the amount used to activate the yeast. Very economical.

it did behave in the way that it should so I'm sure it would be perfect if used for it's normal purpose
This was actually used in an experiment for a study course. However, it did behave in the way that it should so I'm sure it would be perfect if used for it's normal purpose.

Not what it used to be
Lost the plot with this Allinsons product over the last year. Been using it for years but of late it does not work. I notice retailers seem to have delisted it.

This type of yeast needs to be pre activated with warm water before you add it to your flour, unlike 'fast acting' yeast that you mix with the dry ingredients."}}]}]}
