 If I could give this zero stars, I would. June 21, 2010
Star1954 (Charlottesville)
I was very excited to find this product. It is suppose to be the same yeast as in the "Rapid Rise" and the product for bread machines. I used the exact amount for my recipe: a typical 1/4 ounce strip envelope equals 2 1/4 teaspoons. The end result was a baked product that tasted foul. I contacted Fleishmann's Company the next morning. I was told that they would replace the two pounds of yeast I had purchased with a (three envelope strip with a total of 3/4 ounces). When I pointed out that this did not seem reasonable, they said they would replace the two pounds of Fleishmann's yeast with a coupon for a 4-oz glass jar, and pointed out that I had complained about another product from their company in the past. I was further told that I would not have any future defective products compensated for. (?) This is not a company that stands behind their products, and apparently they are not committed to a reasonable level of quality control.

If you are looking for yeast that does yeast things, this yeast is exactly sufficient for any yeast-based products you will be using yeast for.
The yeast comes in a bag. The yeast bag is exactly sufficient for housing the yeast that you will be using for yeast-based products.
Great Value and GREAT results! May 8, 2010

I'm not going to tell you what kind of yeast to buy, although I prefer Red Star. I'm looking for VALUE and great results. First, let's talk about VALUE. I purchased two (2) 16 Ounce vacuum packed bags of the Fleishmann's at Sam's Club for $4.20 with Free Shipping. (That's a joke, - I drove it home!)
With regard to storage, I store my yeast in FoodSaver vacuum packed ball jars in my freezer! I'm not sure if it correct, but it works for me. (Your mileage may vary!) But, for $2.10 a pound, you could keep this yeast under your pillow and still come out ahead!
Did you ever wonder WHY Sam's Club NEVER comes up in a Google search? Dah?
Secondly, I've had GREAT results with it, regardless of my love and devotion to Red Star. Peter Reinhart's Artisan Bread's Every Day also helped. I have many many books on bread and bread baking and there is NONE better. Now, European artisan purests might argue with me, - please don't. I'm simply talking about the best bread that I've ever baked! I could do better, but my one (1) hour in the kitchen compared to two days of toil and devoted European love wins for me. If you're serious about your bread baking, buy the book or simply continue to bury your head in the sand.
There is simply NOT enough time in my life to solve everyone's problems, but I've tried to help!
Fleishmann's gets 5 Stars from me.

as always it was great doing buisness with them. The product was sent fast and in perfect condition.
great yeast, but be aware that you're using mutants December 8, 2009

This is really good stuff. Last long in the fridge, works great in machines, and there's no need for proofing (adding water to Active Dry yeast, and some flour, and letting it sit for a while before adding it to the rest of the mixture).
Two things to remember:
1. When using this, mix it well into the dry ingredients. If you just dump it into the water, it may clump together and you wind up with a clump of yeast in your bread. If you're using a bread machine, no worries, because if you follow the machine instructions (making a little "volcano" in the flour, putting yeast in the volcano hole) it'll do it for you.
2. make no mistake, you're using mutant yeast. Instant yeast is created through protoplast fusion, where two different strains of yeast are combined into one. One of the types is usually a mutant yeast to begin with. any difference, health or taste wise? dunno. but once in a while i like to use cake yeast (the high-moisture "fresh" kind), or sourdough from my own starter (look on the net for instructions on how to make starters), and i like to think that i can taste the difference (and human history!)
