Mary Kitchen HashReduced Sodium Corned Beef, 15 Ounce (Pack of 12)

We eat at least one can of this hash per week, usually for breakfast. Great plain, or mixed with other items such as eggs, bacon, cheese, etc., to make an omelet or put in a carb friendly flour tortilla/wrap for burrito for breakfast, lunch or dinner. We like that it has less sodium as we strive to use no added salt for most of our cooking. It's very difficult to find this in grocery stores or big box stores so we appreciate being able to subscribe to receive it without looking for it every time we shop for food.

I love corned beef hash and I've been buying the regular Mary Kitchen brand for a while. It's good, but sometimes the cans had a bit more grease than normal. Almost to the point where you'd think about wanting to strain it after cooking. I figured I'd try the low sodium variant because people said it was less greasy and tasted good, and I can now add my recommendation to that.It tastes great! And it's much less greasy. Despite being low sodium there's no impact to the smell, taste, or texture at all. I put on some ground pepper and hot sauce and don't feel the saltiness is lacking in any way.Having tried this I can't think of a reason to go back to the original kind. Their low sodium corned beef hash is definitely a winner!

OK, so corned beef hash undoubtedly doesn't make it onto anyone's healthy eating list. But its old fashioned charm and rib-sticking solidity understandably make it a popular comfort food. Don't you ever get tired, though, of all the fat that oozes out when you heat up the contents of an ordinary can of hash? Here's a great solution. Instead of using (LOTS of) paper towels to sop up as much of the fat as possible and reduce the hash to a slightly more manageable health threat, I've finally stumbled onto these terrific reduced-fat cans. WONDERFUL!!! Whether you cook the hash on a griddle or fry pan to get that lovely scorch, or just heat it in a microwave (without having to drain the fat and wipe down with paper towels every 30 seconds!), this is a marvelous way for more up-to-date eaters still to enjoy an old favorite.By the way, the best accompaniment for corned beef hash is ... beets!!! We serve them on the side at our house, but another standard approach is to chop them finely and mix them into the hash (which you then call red flannel hash -- lovely!!), which improves the overall nutritional profile, too, as long as you avoid pickled beets which would just increase the already high sodium content. (My husband also swears by green beans on the side, or grilled, boiled or carmelized onions with or without peas or corn, as well as the standard egg-on-top.) Reduced fat plus extra veggies: a good way to have your cake and eat it too, as it were! :)

Thought id try this low sodium version. It has pretty good flavor considering i like salt. The meat part seems to remind me of a processed type resembling texture of spam prior to cooking, but tastes good when fried up.

These cans are delicious and make a good quick meal.

Best canned hash… better than most dinners, unless they are serving it.

I have tried both the regular and the less sodium cans in quantity. The less sodium hash does not have an oil sheen when you cook it slowly on medium heat. I like to crisp mine up in a skillet on medium heat for at least 20 minutes, flipping carefully and meticulously every five minutes. I will purchase another round of the reduced sodium again, and again.

I just bought his item off Amazon. The shipment came very fast, but some of the cans were dented. They packed it very poorly, they literally jut put it in a cardboard box along with a case of another canned food item. There was nothing but a couple of those air-filled bags in there with the 2 cases. They both got banged around pretty good before delivery. Both cases had several dented cans from the shipping, so a very bad score from Amazon for packaging by people that don't care.As for the CBH itself, I personally found the low-fat version too low in fat! It didn't render any fat when I cooked it in a non-stick frying pan. I had to add oil to keep it from sticking which defeats the purpose of the non-fat feature. Even so, it still came out pretty dry tasting, it didn't have that rich smooth taste that a little more fat will provide. Even without the normal amount of fat, this product still tasted fine.I can't really say this is a complaint about the product. After all, I knowingly ordered a low-fat version of the product to try it out and put in the disaster prep stockpile. I just want to let people know that this is a good product, but it will not cook or taste like regular CBH will. It is dryer and less flavorful. But, it does have less fat and if that is important to you, then this should fit the bill.I am knocking off 1 star for the truly awful packing\shipping.-Mike
