Bouillon powders absorb water, whether open or closed, so that after time, they become a solid brick. You can either chip away pieces and use them to make stock, or you can take the entire mass, place it on a cookie sheet after removing it from its' container and baking at 225 degree Fahrenheit for 1 hour. After this time, lightly tap with a kitchen mallet and it will fall apart into powder.
