Liquid Smoke uses

The_Kapn · 01-02-2010, 04:58 PM

I am interested in the Brethren view of the use of Liquid Smoke.

I have tried to present the full range of choices and hope to get some useful feedback.

I personally feel that it is a natural ingredient and the person developing the sauce, injection, marinade, or whatever is welcome to use it as they see fit.
The Marketplace will decide the results.

I don't see anything wrong with it and the food should be judged as is.

Up to the Chef!

I use liquid smoke occasionally in soups, scrambled eggs & omelets, chip dips, tuna salad sammies, and when I bake fish in the oven.

I don't use liquid smoke on my BBQ. I leave the smoke flavor infusion to the wood smoke.

A couple of drops in a pot of rice with some sauteed garlic and green onions is mighty tasty

BBQ Grail · 01-02-2010, 05:29 PM

I have a bottle and use it once in awhile.

I do prefer the MSG enhanced Liquid Smoke though...

I only use that when I'm making authentic Mexican Adobo recipes

JiveTurkey · 01-02-2010, 05:45 PM

I use when I make my marinade for beef jerky. That's the only time it gets used around here.

Meat Burner · 01-02-2010, 05:51 PM

I don't use it but do believe it is up to the chef. It sounds like there are some appropriate times to use it to get the flavor someone is looking for.

Gore · 01-02-2010, 06:34 PM

I think I read on this site that it is great on boiled ribs!

nolaman · 01-02-2010, 10:56 PM

I use it to get my wifey use to the taste of smoke! Really! I use it on the steaks we quick cook on the gasser!

Harbormaster · 01-02-2010, 11:03 PM

I've been known to put a wee bit in a pot of pinto beans, and never ever in my Q.

That's all I have to say about that.

Coz · 01-02-2010, 11:26 PM

I heard Harbor master uses it with Butter on his toast LOL made it home ok?

BBQchef33 · 01-02-2010, 11:27 PM

i dont use it because to me it taste like ash. Dont care if its in stuff though. Some products i find overuse it and i get that ashy taste.

Rookie'48 · 01-03-2010, 12:49 AM

I haven't used that stuff in over 40 years on anything that I have cooked. If someone else wants to use it that's fine, as long as it turns out the way that they want ..... more power to them.
