Smoking Shavings are a quick and convenient way to smoke food by using a stovetop, home smoker, or gas or charcoal braai. Due to their size, they smoulder for a shorter time to produce a delicious smoky flavour.
My Butchers Block products are proudly South African, which means that only local and ethically sourced wood is used and that all of our products are made by locals too. The Smoke Shavings is a great gift as it fits the bill of being on-trend and useful. It's also perfect for those family braais.
Soak your wooden chips / shavings in water for about 30 minutes. This generates steam that adds moisture and heat to the smoking process. This method also prolongs burning time. The key with wood chips & shavings is to deny the wood of oxygen so it smoulders and smokes.
Wood flavours are a personal choice of taste so to make it easier, but here is a brief description of our flavours:
Maple Wood Shavings - Great for fruits and cheeses and pork
Recipe idea for Maple Wood Shavings - Pulled Pork
Hickory Smoke Shavings Hickory smoking wood creates a sweet, yet strong bacon-flavor; the smoke can be pungent, but it adds a nice, strong flavour to just about all meat cuts, but it's especially popular with pork and ribs.
Recipe Idea with the Wild Olive Jalapeno poppers and chicken
