DIRECTIONS
For Smoked Nuts, lay a sheet of aluminum foil in the skillet, then distribute wood chips and sugar evenly on top. Place a cooking rack over the chips and cover with lid. Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or until smoke starts to escape.
Place nuts on a heat-resistant plate and transfer to rack. Cover and smoke over low heat for about 2 minutes. Turn off heat and rest, covered, for about 5 minutes to infuse with smoke.
For Smoked Cheese, lay a sheet of aluminum foil in the skillet, then distribute wood chips and sugar evenly on top. Wrap each piece of cheese in a slice of bacon, if desired. Place a cooking rack over the wood chips and cover with lid. Preheat the skillet over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes or until smoke starts to escape.
Lay a sheet of parchment paper on the rack and place cheese on top. Cover and smoke over low heat for about 1 minute, watching carefully to avoid melting. Turn off heat and rest, covered, for about 5 minutes to infuse with smoke.
Note
The smoke can stain your hands, so we recommend wearing gloves.
Bleach is an effective cleaning agent for removing built-up smoke stains on your lids.
