DIY: Smoking Cheese and Meat at Home
Who doesn’t love the taste of smoked cheeses on a sandwich, with crackers, or even just by itself? How about smoked meats with their savory scent and taste? Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could start smoking cheese and meat at home and have it any time you want?
Smoking is a food preservation method that has been used for thousands of years. By removing the moisture from the food, you are taking away one of the key elements needed for bacteria to grow in, which results in the rotting of food. There is a lot more to it than just adding a smokey flavor to your favorite dishes. Imagine smoking blocks of cheese that can be frozen and used later at parties or family gatherings.
With explanations on the science of why smoking food works to the equipment and how-to steps provided, even a complete newbie can successfully smoke their own food at home. It’s easier than you think!
