My Butchers Block - Smoke Shavings Cedar

Discover the art of adding rich, smoky flavors to your food with our premium Smoking Wood Shavings. Whether you’re using a stovetop, home smoker, or gas or charcoal braai, these wood shavings are your ticket to transforming ordinary dishes into gourmet experiences. How to Use Smoking Wood Shavings: Soak: Start by soaking the wood shavings in water for about 30 minutes. This soaking process creates steam during cooking, which not only enhances the smoky flavour but also adds moisture and heat. Prepare: Drain the wood shavings and place them in a smoker box or wrap them in aluminum foil, poking holes to allow the smoke to escape. Smoke: Place the smoker box or foil packet on your stovetop, braai, or smoker. As the shavings heat up, they’ll begin to smolder and release flavorful smoke. Cook: Allow your food to smoke at a low temperature, letting the wood shavings infuse your dish with their unique flavors. Cedar Wood Shavings is traditionally used for fish, but also fantastic for fruits and seafood, imparting a sweet, spicy flavor.
