MSG certainly cakes, terribly so... I used to buy the generic MSG but
each time I opened the jar near a steaming pot it caked more. Accent
doesn't cost much at the big box stores, I get mine at Sam's Club, two
big cannisters bundled together for like $7. You exaggerate, generic
msg is not 1/10 the price, maybe 20% cheaper but Accent goes further
because it doesn't cake and is easier to use.
