Notes

What is liquid smoke?
Imagine if you could bottle up the smoky goodness of a backyard barbecue and take it with you wherever you go—well, that’s what liquid smoke is! Liquid smoke is made by burning wood to create smoke, then capturing that smoke and cooling it into a liquid. This liquid is filtered and concentrated to give foods a smoky flavor without needing to actually smoke them. Liquid smoke is generally safe to use because it’s filtered and processed to remove harmful substances. It’s approved for food use and meant to be added in small amounts for flavor.
