Liquid smoke from powder

Liquid smoke from powder

Postby shanew » Sun May 10, 2015 2:25 pm

Hopefully a simple question.. A few recipes call for liquid smoke, I have a pack of smoke powder bought from Franco's and would like to know the ratio of powder to water to make a liquid smoke to use.

Cheers,

Shane.

I personally do not have experience of it myself per se, however i'm sure there will be more detail in a key word site search.

Thanks for the replies GUS,
My problem is I've never had liquid smoke so I have no idea how concentrated the aroma is and having never used franco's smoke powder I am completely lost. Knowing I need .5g per kilo of powder I just need to find a recipe that calls for x-ml of liquid per kilo to make a comparison.

For example, if I need 20ml of liquid smoke to prepare a kilo of meat then it would be .5g into 19.5ml of water.

Cheers,
Shane.

I recall someone on here saying that .5g is an absolute minimum and that most use more - maybe worth a forum search.

Yes, I see.

The thought on it (as I've read the supplied threads) is, that it is subjective to ones own taste, ..which as the chef is on your head / tastebuds.
Presumably you have enough to play with rather than a mere morsel?

If so then try something cheap to get an idea of the depth of taste such as a sauce / ketchup which will get you out of the starting gates, & if too strong can be tempered elsewhere.

Just my tuppence worth of advice.
