The Stove Top Smoker: Great Cooking Convenience And Taste
There are four separate parts which make up stove top smokers:
1. The Main Smoker Pan, which is the largest part of the smoker. The lid covers the top, and the other parts fit inside.
2. The Drip Pan catches food drippings. If you wish to steam the food while it's smoking, add liquid.
3. The Rack is where the food rests during smoking. For a smoky flavor, it lets the smoke reach its entire outer surface.
4. The Lid encloses everything; the food in the main smoker pan is trapped, along with the smoke and moisture.
The indoor stove top smokeris great for adding a bit of smokiness to foods right in the kitchen. These smokers cook by dry roasting, while imparting a light smokiness to the food. Using one or two tablespoons of smoker wood dust is all that is recommended in your stovetop smoker. More can give your food a bitter taste. It's best to start out using a small amount of smoking wood, increasing the amount the next time if you want more smoke flavor.
To use the stove top smoker, add one or two tablespoons of smoking wood dust to the bottom of the main smoker pan. Next, place the drip pan in place over the wood. The rack goes in next. Place the food on the rack, put the lid in place, and it's ready to smoke. Set the smoker on your electric or gas range top, and set it to medium or medium-high.
