Aussies have rated Maggi best in Canstar Blue’s 2022 powdered gravy and stock ratings, giving it five-star reviews for taste, consistency, packaging design and overall satisfaction.
There’s always a step in the cooking process in which you can’t help but just get excited. Whether it’s drizzling gravy over a juicy steak, or pouring your favourite stock into the slow cooker to create a mouth-watering lamb ragù, it’s hard to ignore the delicious ‘oomph’ a good gravy or stock can add to any dish. It’s no wonder why almost one in four (24%) Aussies make sure to, well, stock up on the good stuff during each grocery shop.
To find out what’s best, we asked more than 870 Australian consumers for their feedback on the powdered gravy or stock they purchased from a supermarket (and consumed) in the last three months. Respondents rated brands on taste, consistency, range variety, packaging design, value for money and overall satisfaction. Brands that received at least 30 responses are included in our ratings.
In our latest survey, Maggi was the only brand that scored a five-star review for overall satisfaction and several other categories.
Here are the best brands of powdered gravy and stock, as rated by consumers in Canstar Blue’s review:
Maggi rated best with a five-star review for overall satisfaction, taste, consistency and packaging design. Most other brands scooped up four stars overall satisfaction, except for Coles which got three stars.
Gravox satisfied tastebuds when it came to consistency and variety, achieving full marks, as did ALDI Chef’s Cupboard and Woolworths when judged on value for money.
Maggi’s popularity has led the brand to become a pantry staple in itself, with many households around the globe storing something from its wide product range. This includes everything from two-minute noodles to Asian sauces, crumbing for crispy chicken, gravies and a variety of recipe bases. Some options from Maggi include:
Prices start from just $1 for a 27g pack of gravy mix, and go up to $1.60 for stock cubes (72g).

Canstar Blue surveyed more than 3,000 Australian adults across a range of categories to measure and track customer satisfaction, via ISO 26362 accredited research panels managed by Qualtrics. The outcomes reported are the results from customers within the survey group who have purchased (from a supermarket or grocer) and consumed powdered gravy or stock in the last three months – in this case, 877 people.
Brands must have received at least 30 responses to be included. Results are comparative and it should be noted that brands receiving three stars have still achieved a satisfaction measure of at least six out of 10. Not all brands available in the market have been compared in this survey. The ratings table is first sorted by star ratings and then by mean overall satisfaction. A rated brand may receive a ‘N/A’ (Not Applicable) rating if it does not receive the minimum number of responses for that criteria.
