One interesting feature of this list of recipes is that they have you sauteing things in vegetable broth instead of oil or fat. Does that work? If so, how do you use up vegetable broth a tablespoon at a time without it going bad? Freeze it into ice cubes?

It works fine. You can also use chicken broth. Of course, you don't get that nice buttery taste, but you save calories.

And yes, freeze the broth in ice cubes. It's handy dandy that way.

I've been told that it doesn't work as well because water does not get so hot as oil, but I can't particularly confirm this causes problems.

There's definitely some things where the extra temperature matters. Eggs, for instance, cook completely differently at 100C than at 150 or 200C.

You're supposed to freeze the extra broth from a recipe that calls for 1 c. into ice cubes so you don't waste it.
