What is liquid smoke?

[Gravy Queen]

I read about liquid smoke while looking at pulled pork recipes, what is it please ?

It's a seasoning made from passing wood smoke through liquid. It's used for adding that wood smoked flavor to foods.

Very potent. Very easy to over do.

yes it is a nice flavor to add to bq sauces, but use it sparingly it is potent

It is the collected condensation from a smoker. It is very potent. A little goes a long way. Occasionally I braise baby back ribs in the oven and I add a "cap full" (maybe an 1/8 tsp) to the braise liquid. Makes it taste like outdoor smoked ribs. (well, almost)

You can also add some liquid smoke to some water in a pie tin and set it in your grill. That too will add a smokier flavor to whatever you are grilling.

It is also used in making your own beef, pork, etc. jerky in the marinade.
