Overview
Seasoning catfish, crawfish or a pot of gumbo is what this McCormick Culinary Cajun blend is for. Paprika, cayenne and bell pepper, garlic and onion make a zesty, mildly hot rub for meats, seafood, vegetables and rice.
Kitchen-size quantity of a balanced Cajun blend is the reason to buy, suited to restaurants and frequent home cooks. It has no added MSG. One field lists gluten as an allergen while the description says gluten-free, so the label is the final word.
Who it's for
Commercial kitchens and serious home cooks will empty the big container. Occasional users may find it more than they need before it loses aroma.
Pros and cons
- Large chef-size container
- Balanced pepper blend
- No added MSG
- Works on meat, seafood, vegetables
- Gluten info conflicts in listing
- Salt content not listed
- Large size may lose aroma
Performance notes
Flavor intensity depends on how much is used and how it is cooked: blooming it in fat brings out paprika and garlic. Cayenne heat builds as dishes simmer. Keeping the lid closed preserves aroma over a large container.
