CAPSULE REPORT: Shame on us! We discovered SAVU Smoker Bags two years ago and have just gotten around to sharing them with you. When you discover how easy it is to cook up delicious smoked foods, you.rs"ll either thank us or be ticked off that itcrs"s taken so long to share the news. These simple-to-use bags will have you smoking up a storm: Meat, fish or vegetables can be smoked effortlessly in the kitchen oven or on an outdoor grillgmdash;at home or at your favorite picnic- or campgrounds.
Now every day can be a smokinurs" day. Beef, chicken, duck, fish, lamb, kebabs, pork and other favorite foods smoke over natural wood chips that are layered in cleverly-designed, single-use aluminum smoker bags, made in Finland. You can even make your own hot-smoked salmon or other fish for Sunday brunch! The heavier-flavored hickory chips are intended to pair better with meats, and the lighter-flavored alder chips with fish, but the bags truly are universal. The wood creates real smoked flavor in minutes. By adding potatoes and other vegetables, you can make complete meals in one bag. Just seal, cook, open and eat. And you can serve from the bag
The trouble with smoking food at home is, well, the smoke: No one wants a cloudy kitchen. But the Smoker Bag, from Finnish company SAVU, eliminates that problem. The whole process takes place in an enclosed package. In our tests (we tried the bags in the oven, but they can also be used on a grill), a slight smoky smell developed after a few minutes of cooking, but it was neither unpleasant nor overwhelminglmdash;and certainly no thick, eye-burning fog. Upon opening the bag to find, say, perfectly smoked chicken thighs, there was just a bit of steam. (Savu means ld"smokeard" in Finnish.)
In fact, we adore this product. When the bag smelled like bacon, we knew we were in for something special, but what we got surpassed all expectations. Succulent ribs arrived in a fraction of the time theydrs"d spend over a traditional smoker, with the pink bld"smoke ring rd" we expect from good barbecue. Delicate smoked fish was equally simple to make: Place food in the bag, seal, place the bag in oven, cook, eat. Since the 11x19rndash;inch bag holds up to three pounds of food, ittrs"s possible to cook a whole meal in it. And SAVU Smoker Bags are a good excuse to smoke vegetables mdash;an unusual and delightful taste surprise. Those who don rs"t like to eat their veggies may well ask for seconds and thirds.
