Review on 🔥 Enhance Flavors with the Breville BSM600SIL Smoking Gun Food Smoker, Silver by Keely Allred

If you like licking ashtrays, you'll love this smoke infusion! Surprisingly, they managed to capture even the most subtle flavors. After infusing a few cheeses, each piece seemed like a light touch of a slowly smoldering ember of tobacco. Delicious! I know what you're thinking: is it more like cigarettes or cigars? I asked myself that too and did a blind tasting test with some of the guests I had recently hosted. The test focused on an old-fashioned, smoke-filled cocktail. All versions used the same basic ingredients in the same proportions: bourbon, maple syrup, bitters, and orange peel. Yes, I'm a bit of a mixologist. Option A was prepared using a smoke brewer according to the instructions in the helpful recipe cards that came with it. I used elegant maple sawdust which I feel complements the maple syrup in the cocktail. Option B was made with the same base cocktail, but instead of inhaling, I gently dipped a lit, half-smoked Marlboro cigarette into a mixing glass for about 30 seconds. before pouring it into a chilled vintage glass for my guests. Option C was again made with the same base cocktail but I added a 25% Macanudo Smoked Cigar to the drink. It was a blind tasting. All guests received three options in three different glasses at the same time and were allowed to try them in any order. While pattern C was the favourite, 4 out of 8 guests chose it as their favourite, variant A surprisingly shared second place! At first I couldn't believe it held up the real deal so well, but I think they really put a lot of R&D into this device. The build quality seems excellent so I'm sure I can use it to mimic ashtray scents for years to come!
