Liquid smoke yay or nay?
 
I have found some Figaro Liquid smoke (hickory) on a New Zealand online auction site since we cant get it in stores here.
The 4oz bottle is selling for $26; should I buy it? would it be worth having around? I could use it in sauces could I not?

thanks for your insight.
Scott

There are some sauces that benefit from liquid smoke, regardless of what the naysayers may say.
Good to have around is my vote.

It's got its uses.. I keep one of these on hand.. http://www.google.com/products/catal...ed=0CDsQ8wIwAQ

If only I could find a store in the states that ships to New Zealand, $3usd to a pretty nice price.

scottjess 01-02-2012 05:43 PM

nevermind lol, $25 to ship to my house :(

I always use liquid smoke in my dehydrated beef jerky marinade.

I like a little in my Bloody Mary's other than that don't see a need in it

I agree with it being good for sauces, jerky, and even some non-Q recipes (whatever those are). Plus, it's the best medium to boil your ribs in.:heh:

I gotta say, not for $26 for 4 ounces. It does have applications and a little goes a long ways, but, that is a lot of money for 4 ounces of just about anyhting. I would consider making it first.

I will use smnoked salt or smoked paprika to add smokiness at times.

I found 8.5oz bottle for 18 including shipping.
I can get the same brand (a new zealand brand) 1L (33oz) for $31.

Not sure how good their liquid smoke is though.

Still seems like a lot of money. I know it is good in a few things, but I just don't seem to use it anymore. I would not pay that amount of money just to have it around. Definitely would make it first -- it isn't hard.

at that price forget about it

Liquid smoke has it's place. Just not near any real deal BBQ. That price is nuts though. I'd definitely pass.

Grillman 01-02-2012 08:03 PM

Liquid Smoke is like any other spice, seasoning, or ingredient; if you like it, use it.
If you don't like it, don't use it. But, for that price, I think I'd try to make my own.
