Tips - Breville BSM600 Instruction Book

Tips

• To provide smoke flavor and aroma for
meats, fish, fruits, or vegetables after cooking,
simply place the food in a covered casserole,
stockpot, Dutch oven, or other covered dish/
pan and inject smoke under the lid.(See
below table for smoking techniques. See
recipe cards included separately for more
ideas and details.)
• To enhance the presentation of a finished
dish, add a hint of smoke under a domed
plate cover.
• Use the Smoking Gun
foods, such as cheeses and vegetables, with
smoky flavor and aroma without changing
their texture.
• One to three minutes under smoke is
generally all that is needed to infuse foods
with a smoky flavor and aroma. When using
the Smoking Gun with a covered receptacle,
‰
simply inject the smoke under the lid and let
stand for a few minutes.

• Don't place hose directly in the food. Place it
just slightly above.
• Continuous smoking with the Smoking Gun
is NOT required.
• Ensure the unit has had sufficient time to cool
before reloading and operating additional
burn cycles if required.
• Hickory chips impart a pungent, smoky
bacon-like flavor that goes particularly well
with most meats, especially pork (ham,
ribs, etc.) and beef. They are good for most
vegetables because they impart a strong
earthy flavor.
• Applewood chips work well with poultry,
game birds and pork. These woods provide a
slightly sweet but denser, fruity smoke flavor.
• Use wood chips that have been specifically
prepared for the purpose of smoking - these
timbers will have been dried to the correct
level and will produce less resinous materials
in the smoke output from the unit.
