Roux mention in this answer smoking water. How do you do this? What does it taste like? How do you use it?

Sounds fascinating!

  • The link you posted is broken, what was the question you're referring to?

  • The link Seth refers to is to a now-deleted question asking for a list of suggestions for adding to pasta. The entire answer read "If you have access to a smoker, smoke water and use that for making your dough.", and was written by the same person as the accepted answer here

Fill a basin or hotel pan with water.

Place in your smoker. Ensure the smoker heat is set below 100C/212F (adjust as necessary for distance above/below sea level).

Um... smoke. An hour should do fine. More if you want more. Optionally strain through a superbag or muslin to remove any deposited particulate matter.

  • I haven't yet, but the bright minds at studiokitchen.com use it for making pasta.

    Why not use liquid smoke? It is produced almost the same way but some of the tar removed through filtration.

  • I don't know what it is, but I just find the flavour of liquid smoke not very pleasant. Too intense and difficult to titrate? Maybe. I don't know. But the times I have had to use it in cooking--even under the direction of a much more experienced chef--I have not enjoyed the flavour at all. Different strokes I suppose.
