Liquid Smoke...Another "must have" in the cupboard!

coltle6920 · Jan 29, 2016

I know it isn't new but it's amazing how many uses it has.

I've been using it in soups,stew and chili but while reading the label one day it said to try it in dip.I bought a 24oz container of sour cream and added 1 tsp of liquid smoke.Sit down with your favorite chips and a cold beer and see what you finish first.

Not too shabby as a baked potato topping either.I think I'll try it in a homemade cheese spread next.

Where can you buy this? Do local stores carry it?

Most grocery stores do. I have some, bought the larger bottle last time.

Now thanks to Colt LE I have another smoked thing to try.

Put it on hamburgers inside skillet cooked in cold weather works too. Baked Beans and anything like inside steaks to impart a little outside BBQ flavor.

I am also a long time liquid smoke fan. Pretty sure I could just pour it in a shot glass...

It's REALLY good stuff, but it is possible to get too much of it in or on whatever you are cooking. Next time you make an omlet or scrambled eggs or a crepe, put a few drops of liquid smoke in the bowl when you bust up the eggs. Good Eats!

Liquid Smoke/Tabasco sauce & picked halepino's are a MUST for the pantry.

I use it in jerky and I buy both the Hickory and the Mesquite. I usually blend the two 50:50. It comes in other woods so look around.

Been using it on fish for years.

What's in it, fellas?

I've heard of it, but never used it. What section of the grocery store is it in......with the mustard or BBQ sauces maybe?

Been around a long time

Would someone please name a major grocery chain that carries this?

It does make venison jerky taste even better...

You have Albertson's in Arizona.It's normally stocked in the aisle with BBQ sauces...Small bottles 3.5-4oz...probably on top shelf.

Smoke, a couple of mirrors....

Read this one, it also helps seeds germinate and emerge!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid_smoke

And read this one for history and uses. It states smoke has natural bacteria killing magic that helps preserve meat. And also tastes good.

I'll take sriracha sauce instead of Tabasco but pickled jalapenos are also a common item in my house.

One brand I have just says water and natural hickory smoke concentrate.Another brand adds vinegar,coloring and undisclosed spices.

Do a search online for "liquid smoke ingredients".

Ive found it at Kroger.....thats kinda a major chain

Onomea · Jan 30, 2016

Thanks, guys. I especially liked model70hunter's second link which, among a lot of other things, says the key is to use it in moderation. As in a little bit goes a long way. Also notes that many smoke flavored products are not actually smoked, but have liquid smoke added for flavor.

I've never tried it but will see if I can find a bottle of the plain stuff, mesquite or hickory. I want to add a little bit of it to my babyback rib basting sauce.
