Do people like this brand better than the two other store brands?

I can't compare to other store brands. I only used one other in a tiny pouch (which was the wrong size for my batch anyway) one time. This brand is so reliable, works so well, I honestly never tried any other. I get fantastic rises out of my bread with this one.

Yes, definitely! I don't know if you mean INSTANT yeast (I don't know of any store brand instant, except one that comes in a brick in the refrigerated section... it's sort of crumbly), but if you mean the packets on the store shelves, this is superior. You don't have to proof it in water. You just throw it in with all your other ingredients and it works. It does need to be stored in the fridge, though.

I prefer it because I can keep it in my freezer and use it straight from the freezer into the recipe without letting it warm to room temperature first (as required by most others) and not have to worry about it not working correctly. That's a lifesaver if you forget, or want to make something on spur of moment. Plus, I've always had better rising from this yeast than other brands.

It's really comparable to store brands. To be honest, I'm not so much of a connoisseur that I notice a difference. I bought this because of the price, and I've been buying it because it holds up for a long time. I don't bake that often so I keep it frozen and it keeps going for years. Also, sometimes I bake Gugelhupf (a yeast cake) which relies on the yeast for flavor and it totally pulls through. I have no complaints whatsoever.

This *IS* Red Star rapid-rise yeast, so no, it's the same quality as Fleischman's and Red Star.. The "dold" SAF-instant yeast is better for making sweet doughs, and the active dry yeast is better for refrigerated doughs. For bread machines, use 2/3 as much instant yeast as you'd use active dry.

It's the same thing you see marketed in the local stores as bread machine yeast. That's the main thing I use it for and I first bought here on Amazon when I could only find it locally in the little envelopes. I do like it better. I think it gives a more consistent rise and it's way more economical.

I don't know how they compare, but I would have gone with Rachel's set if Paula's hadn't been cheaper at that time. I've handledPaula's set, in the store and they appear to be very similar on the inside.

150. Why don't you try a smaller quantity and see if you don't agree that are better than the Walmart, Kmart or grocery store brands.

No to both of your questions. I use many of those companies products and love all of them. I actually will only use their products.

Hi Scott, I reviewed this product and if you look you can see I reviewed a wide variety of items I purchased through amazon including 3 different brands of this product. Some of the products I loved. Some I hated and some were just ok. I assure you I don`t work for this sellar or any of the others.

Well, that's a tough decision. I like both for their own reasons. I like the store because it is quicker to just go and drive to the store and get it right away. No one likes having to wait and freaking out over a possible pregnancy. Hahaha. But, I like to go online mostly. That way I can get the best deal and see reviews from other women who have bought it. I just buy mine online and keep them in my bathroom just in case. So that way I don't have to do the quick run to the store.

It is upto mostly individual's taste. You really have to hook them up to see which one you like the best. Sorry I don't have anwser.

Only speaking as a purchaser of the Grunwerg Cafe Ole, I must say I reviewed all the different models available before making my choice. Size, style and quality all were factors in my decision. There were a number of similar items to choose from--but that is to be expected with competition in the marketplace ....The manufacturer has a good reputation (I researched them as well) which was another factor in my decision. I have been very satisfied with my choice.

I like it much better than the Lipton teas, but that will be a personal opinion that may or may not be the same in your case. Its like trying to compare two different wines. They may be the same variety, but there can be a huge difference in taste. This one has become a staple in our house.

I have seen multiple listings for the same products before. I look at each one to compare the difference - some could be newer models. I typically order from the listing if Amazon sells it.As for the comment about buying an Ergo. They are good, a friend bought one, keep in mind that if you have an infant you may need to by the insert as well.Which ever carrier you buy I highly recommend following the instructions or getting help from some one who knows how. We got help from a local business that knew how to use it properly and we have had no issues with the Becco besides putting slip covers over the plastic snaps.

I had one before this one that I like more and it was less expensive... I'm big into bargains. With that said, my answer is no.

I used another ladies, a bit cheaper but when you looked at it wasn't as good. So I chose to buy the TRX brand but not the top one used by the navy seals.I think sometimes you have to go by gut feeling, can't try them all.

We got two in a week and they both were quite fresh. it is a reputable company that I'm sure would take it back if you were not satisfied. We have bought 2 others over the past years at different times and there was never a problem. The biggest problem is that it is quite big. LOL.

I'm no expert but I researched as much as I could before choosing and it came down to these 2 brands, I personally could not find a difference. I chose the Naturewise and have been happy with them.

I have used every brand at some point. Some work better than others. The best are Metallica and one coat cremes. Have fun!
