A potent liquid with a smoky aroma, liquid smoke captures the essence of slow-cooked barbecue in a bottle. Its robust flavor adds depth to marinades, sauces, and even soups, transforming dishes with a single drop.
Where it comes from
Developed in the 1920s as a method of preserving the flavor of smoked foods, liquid smoke has become a staple in American barbecue culture. It allows for the smoky flavor without the need for a grill.
In the kitchen
Used sparingly, liquid smoke enhances marinades, dressings, and sauces, imparting a rich, smoky flavor that elevates dishes. It's particularly effective in vegetarian and vegan recipes, providing depth without meat.
