Title: Question about liquid smoke
Post by: smokendevo on October 16, 2014, 07:52:08 PM
Is it a good idea to add liquid smoke to the the steak/roast before vac sealing and cooking it sous vide or would the liquid smoke over power the meat over time?

Because nothing can evaporate from the bag - I would use extreme caution. Use much less than you would typically use.

Roaming the the web and reading some good info I would have to say the train of thought was to add smoked spices such as smoked salt, smoked paprika or some thing along that line rather than liquid smoke. Some recipes I came across only used 1-2 drops. Think I will stay away from the liquid smoke.

As potent as that stuff is I can see why they would use very little or something else. ;)

I have never tried the liquid smoke with SV but can tell you that regular cold smoked foods get a boost in smoke flavor when cooked SV so I would imagine very little liquid smoke would be needed.

1 drop of liquid smoke would probably be more than enough, unless you really like smoke. You could dilute it.
Muebe..have your tried your smoke gun with the SV?  Pam  .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

Liquid smoke is hard to deal with and I never use it.  I'm not into SV cooking, but would suggest the "reverse sear" method adaptation if you can.  Lightly smoke the meat in real smoke for a few minutes before wrapping.  It won't cook but it will warm up.  Real, natural smoke always tastes a lot better than the bottled kind.

I'm probably a bit strange in my taste buds, but liquid smoke to me tastes like what I would wash out of the walls of a Bradley

Pam, I did a search and could not find anything related to a smoke gun. Maybe what you are thinking about is what you crazy kids that grew up in the 60's called a shotgun.  ??? ;D

Well, beside the shotgun..someone on here has a smoke gun that they put food in a ziploc bag and added the smoke to it before they cooked it. Just can't remember who it was..some one on the SOTG forum. 'ere.  Pam   .☆´¯`•.¸¸. ི♥ྀ.

I never use liquid smoke for anything, it is just nasty to me.
