Smoked Salt

[Rod Paradise]

Been experimenting with my smoker, and smoked a big batch of Malden salt (beechwood smoke), tried some on a steak this evening and it did add a wee BBQ grill taste.

Anyway looking for some testers to try it out for me, let me know what they think and make suggestions for using it. Chiseller's got a leather pouchful on it's way to him from the gift-it-on thread already.

There's a wee bag of salt to the first 5 to post on here & pm me their address, all that's required is some feedback.

Thanks,

Rod

Be nice on some roasted cherry tomatoes! Are you cold smoking?

i'd love a bag to try mate

i'll try it on some VERY blue steak

 

[beachlover]

On grilled Aubergines and Parmesan?
Me please if that's OK.

 

[Mesquite]

Go on... I'd be up to trying this please

Hot smoked it - top layer got the most smoke, and the salt caked together a bit, but broke up easily & was easy mixed to give a nice touch of smoke (I hope).

That's 4 -1 more to go (Mesquite send me an address - actually there's a though - I've got some mesquite chunks - and I find it a bit strong for meat smoking, but to give a strong smoked salt for meat..... when I next get to tescos I'll get some more malden & try that one....)

I've had cold smoked butter which is very tastey, but you could also mix the smoked salt into unsalted butter for a tastey treat.

I would be up for it....

Thinking of jerky seasoning!

May be good on salmon or trout

Cheers folks, that's the 5, and already I've got some good ideas

Will probably do the same again when I've made some Mesquite.

 

[Robbi]

put me first on the list for that then LOL !

once again, many thanks Rod and i'll even try and post piccy of the VERY VERY blue steak and smoked salt

Just an idea, but try spraying misted water lightly onto batch 2... The water will both capture and draw the smoke further into the salt.

Works for Chillies..!

Will try it (did 2 roasting tins so will try 1 that way).

Will also look at a mesh screen type tray - allowing the smoke to rise through the salt.

Slightly damp all the way through is the way, have fun

The thought of a correctly cooked blue steak and smoked salt....

Mmmmm.

Salt is in the mail - I take no responsibility for police raids for you receiving off-white crystalline substances in the mail.......

 

[Robbi]

Bugger !.....didn't think of that !!

cheers Rod, many thanks and a happy new year to you.

Be a pleasant change from knives and axes for my postie. Actually, thinking about him, he'll probably ask for some and be very disappointed.

Hi Rod, salt arrived today and very tastey it is too !!

( the envelope had been opened and re-sealed by RM then put into a plastic bag with an apology for the condition of the parcel when it was delivered )

Still at least they're being thorough.... I suppose.
