Vegan smoke flavor – liquid smoke from the bottle

The smoke aroma from the bottle is experiencing a real hype, especially among vegans. There is a very simple reason for this: many foods only taste really delicious when they have been smoked. The best example of this is probably the most famous product from vegan cuisine – smoked tofu . But tofu is by no means the only food that can be given an intense depth of flavor with the vegan smoke aroma . Would you like more ideas on where you can use the all-natural and vegan liquid smoke?

• Homemade grill and BBQ sauces
• Grilled or oven vegetables
• Braised dishes such as bean or lentil stew
• All vegan meat alternatives
• Homemade vegan spreads (e.g. from chickpeas)
• Cold cuts made from tofu, seitan or tempeh

Use and dosage of Liquid Smoke

When using it, you should always make sure that you keep the dosage as low as possible . Since the Liquid Smoke is highly concentrated, just a single drop is enough to create a pleasant smoke aroma for most vegan dishes. If the desired smoke aroma is not intense enough, you can always add some vegan liquid smoke later. When making homemade barbecue sauces, you can use the following rule of thumb: you need about a teaspoon of vegan liquid smoke for every 1 liter of sauce .

Our tip: Dilute the vegan smoke flavor with a little water (in a ratio of 1:2) and put the mixture in a spray bottle . For example, you can spray vegetables in the oven (or on the electric grill) and get the characteristic smoky flavors of a charcoal grill.

Liquid Smoke ingredients – that’s what’s in the vegan smoke flavor

What's in Liquid Smoke and is the smoke flavor really vegan ? A legitimate question in times of artificial additives and flavor enhancers. Theoretically, there is a possibility that animal fatty acids are present in liquid smoke. That's why you should definitely take a look at the list of ingredients . A natural liquid smoke consists only of water and smoke flavor (like the Liquid Smoke from Lazy Kettle Brand in our shop) and is therefore 100% vegan . It’s also best to look for phrases like “free from other additives” on the label.

By the way: the liquid smoke produced by burning wood chips or sawdust is cleaned using several filters . This extracts substances that are harmful to health (such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, also known as “PAHs ”). The vegan smoke aroma is therefore considered to be far less harmful than normal smoke and is therefore not harmful to health according to the current state of science.
