All the succulent flavors of wood smoking are now available indoors in minutes. This stovetop smoker is constructed of heavy-gauge stainless steel, and at 11 by 15 inches, it's big enough to smoke a ham or a whole fish fillet. The lid slides on for a tight seal, so food gets smoked, but your kitchen doesn't. Additional features include a drip tray rack and retractable handles for storage. The set can also be used as a steamer, poacher, or roasting pan. Instructions, a recipe booklet, and a supply of wood chips will get you started immediately on this low-fat, flavorful cooking technique.




Keep the heat set at a medium heat. The wood chips will start smoking within two minutes. There will be a small trail of smoke ( as little as a cigarette trail) that will come out from the corners of the smoker. After the cooking time, remove the smoker from the heat source, place it on a heat resistant surface, and carefully open the lid. A lot of steam will come out, and the food should be smoked and fully cooked. Place the food on a plate, and put the smoker in the sink. The ashes should be washed down the drain with the faucet running. Warm soapy water can be used to clean the smoker, or it can be placed in the dishwasher. Smoking food has many benefits as it can be done no matter what the weather may be outside - and it can be used on any heat source-gas, electric, induction, BB Grills, camp fire or a hot plate for a perfect smoky taste.
It is healthy cooking as no fat, oil, salt or flavoring needs to be used-great for dieting . It smokes and cooks the food at the same time . The food cooks in it's own juices, so keeps very moist. We have 9 flavors of wood chips to create different flavors. If you want to combo cook, you can smoke food first and then finish it in the oven or on the grill to get brown and crispy. The handles fold around the side of the smoker for easy storage. Stainless 18/10 construction-easy to clean-dishwasher safe. Instruction/cookbook included with 2 tubs of wood chips-enough for about 10 times of smoking. Easy to use with results that surprises even the most experienced cooks. The smoker is perfect for smoking and cooking slabs of ribs, salmon filet, Cornish Hens, Chicken, all sausages, vegetables, tofu, cheese, nuts, garlic and even salt.
The smoker is constructed from heavy steel and is well made. I could smell the smoke as the food cooked, but it wasn't intense and there was no smoke in the house. I'll still use my outdoor smoker for batch cooking or for smoking large birds, but expect to get a lot of use out of the stovetop smoker.
To use the product, simply place the wood chips inside the base of the smoker and put the food that you wish to smoke in the tray on top. Virtually any food can be smoked. The guide that comes with the smoker provides suggestions for cooking times and a series of recipes to try. Or simply try your own. Personally, I love cooking pork loin ribs low (250 degrees) and slow (4 1/2 hours) in the oven in the smoker.
The smoker is made of heavy-duty stainless steel and can be washed in the dishwasher.
However, recognize that this is a HOT smoker. If you are looking to smoke meats and other ingredients for long-term preservation, this is not the unit to use. Because of its small size, with the heat turned high enough to produce adequate smoke, you will easily reach temperatures of 250-300 degrees inside the pan, hot enough to roast many meats and birds. Fresh ham slices, for example, while infusing a wonderful flavor from the smoke, will cook to well done and beyond if you're not careful. Certainly far beyond where I would want to cook them for use in bean and soup dishes.
