Smoking

  • Smoking is a cooking technique when the food is exposed to smoke from burning or smoldering materials (most often wood).
  • It is a slow cooking method, which can take up to a whole day to perform.
  • It is perfect for preparing meat, fish, or even cheese.
  • Smoking is performed in a closed environment with warm smoke circulation (the ideal temperature for smoking is between 70° and 90°F).
  • The easiest way to perform smoking is in a smoker or on a grill with a closed lid and equipped with a smoker box. A smoker is a device in which food is exposed to smoke and low temperature heat. A smoker box is an alternative to a smoker. The smoker box is a small metal container that can be used on a gas grill.
