fruit chips	handful
paper towels	3-4 pcs.
bricks or other heavy objects

Cooking method

• 
• So let's get started: the idea of ​​smoking without a smokehouse does not belong to me, but was spied on many years ago, on the Cooking website. no excellent cook from Israel with the nickname Klara. S. This idea bribed me with its simplicity and lack of need to buy an extra kitchen device, which I will use very rarely. True, I still had to buy a mantle, but its price was very significantly different from the price of a smokehouse, in a much more humane direction. Mantyshnitsa needs to be slightly refitted: make a stand out of something (it was bent from a thick iron bar, it seems in a past life, it was a handle from a galvanized bucket) and come up with a drip tray (this container, in a past life, was a tin can with herring)
• 
• We take meat, ribs, drumsticks, thighs, wings, fish, bacon ... in general, what we definitely want to smoke and pickle or pickle according to our favorite recipe, here I am not an advisor to you, as you like, so do !
• 
• We take a handful of fruit chips and soak it in water for 5-10 minutes, this would give more smoke. If it is hard with wood chips, you can take thin twigs of fruit trees, and even pre-dried tea will do just fine! The addition of 2-3 juniper berries to create a forest, wild aroma is very welcome, but this is optional and optional.
• 
• Then we take the mantle, put the foil on the bottom, well, do not wash us the extra container! Put fruit chips, juniper berries, strained from water, on the foil. We put a wire stand with a drip tray on it.
• 
• Then we put the upper pan of the mantle on the lower one, put the first mesh, and on it the meat, or whatever you have. Be sure to leave a distance between the pieces for free circulation of hot air with smoke.
• 
• Next, put the next mesh and .... until you run out of either mesh or meat.
• Now a very crucial moment begins. How carefully you perform it, your kitchen will be filled with smoke, or you just smell the lightest aroma of a fire, and that's it.
• You need to take paper towels, roll them up to a width of about 4 cm, moisten with water and carefully lay them on the top edge of the pan. They will act as a water seal and will prevent smoke from entering the kitchen.
• 
• 
• Next, we need to press, very carefully, the lid of the mantle into a pan lined with paper towels. If you managed to do all this, I congratulate you! We put this structure on the most powerful gas and put a couple of bricks or something heavy enough on top of the lid. This is in case the lid is not very happy with the wet towels and decides to run away.
• 
• Now you can rest, but not relax! We sit in the kitchen and sniff carefully! After 10-15-20 minutes (well, I don't know how powerful your burner is), a pleasant smell of a fire will appear. At this moment, we remove the gas to the minimum and leave our facility for at least 30 minutes, if we are talking about ribs for the subsequent preparation of soup, and more if we just want to taste smoked meat. We calculate the aging rates for meat products by analogy with the oven. Fish, respectively, too.
• At the end of the cooking time, turn off the gas, but leave the saucepan to stand until it cools. Then we dismantle our barricade and .....
• 
• we get a finished product that we don’t put into our mouth right away, despite the fascinating smell, but we leave it until it cools completely and further ripens in the refrigerator for at least 8 hours, which significantly improves organoleptic characteristics and softens the harsh smell of smoke.
• Liquid remains in the drip tray, which we pour out. She, in my opinion, is suitable only for the toilet.
• 
• And on the foil there are burnt wood chips. Which we throw in the trash.
• 
• That's actually the whole simple technological process. Smoking, of course, turns out to be hot.
• Cold smoking is another story .... and at home, alas, it is poorly realizable, although my husband made a device for generating cold smoke for me 2 years ago, but somehow they never reached nature with it.
• Thank you all for your attention and DELICIOUS TASTES!

[Irisha]

Well, here - I got a kick, and immediately the recipe turned out!
A good and accessible recipe, everything is clear I am taking the manual to bookmarks, it will be useful to smoke the ribs (and the fish)

Irisha, Thank you!

And I have specially bought an electric stove to do this on the balcony

In! A very useful recipe! Thank you

specially purchased electric stove

Well, my balcony is very glazed and I'm afraid that the neighbors do not differ in iron nerves!

Brilliant!
Thanks for the recipe

Brilliant!

I won't even argue! Indeed, all ingenious is simple and inexpensive

[Irina]

Irina, thanks, everything is perfectly described, understandable, accessible! I still doubted whether I needed a mantle - they somehow managed to get along with dumplings, now I understood why I needed her

[Irina]

Irina, thanks, a very interesting way! That's just bad luck - there is no mantis.
But the thought already works how to adapt a juicer for these purposes

now I understand why I need her

Exactly! My story! I lived without a mantle until I found this idea.

for these purposes a juicer

it's worse with a juicer ... there are extra holes-hoses, and the main thing is that the juice then - beeeh, will smell smoked!
(I read in the net that the people of Zepter's pots, which are hermetically sealed, adapted, but the price of the issue ...)

Well, whatever Irochka, this is creative !!!! Respect !!! And urgently to patent it !!!!

Well, whatever Irochka, this is creative !!!! Respect !!! And urgently to patent it !!!!

Yeah, and so soon the mantis will disappear from the sale. The people are inveterate on the bread maker!

[Irina]

On such an aluminum one, with 4 levels, you can buy a little more than 1 tyr! Class! Irina, thanks again for the idea!

Luda, I really hope that my today's "suffering with smoking" will come in handy! (We had +34 when I was having fun as a smoked photographer)

[Irina]

"suffering with smoking" come in handy!

Irina, well there is no doubt about it! They will definitely come in handy, my husband has been promising me a smokehouse for a couple of years, but everything somehow does not grow together, everything is not right and wrong for him, but here everything is so simple and great! By the way, we have been collecting branches of fruit trees for several years.

[Irina]

Irina, Gorgeous! But ... it's not so simple .. you can't find the mantle.
still have to buy AG for smoking purposes.
Can I admire you - in the first photo is the teapot easy to use?

still have to buy AG for smoking purposes.

Vika, an aerogrill, for smoking purposes, if it does not have any special smoking attachments, alas, is unsuitable! Nothing good will come of it (I have an airfryer). If there are no mantis, then a metal steamer can be adapted. They have one principle.

And the first photo is not quite a teapot. This is a tea maker. For our homemade teas (and for non-homemade ones too), the thing is generally unique and I would even say irreplaceable! I have it for 6-7 years and I adore it! If tea, then only in it! Once again I looked at the photo - he even poses with tea! This I brewed myself today.

[Irina]

Irina, well, don't tell me, here the ladies smoke in AG and it's very successful
take a look
https://Mcooker-enn.tomathouse.com/index.php@option=com_smf&topic=455507.new;topicseen#new
with metal steamers, too, strained, only if the Arabs look, maybe they have
I wanted to buy such a tea maker, but everyone tried to dissuade me so. And what is its uniqueness? visually, I really like it.

if he does not have any, specifically smoking special nozzles

Vika, that's how I wrote about it. There people bring wood chips to burning in foil plates. Maybe it will work out! But this can already be considered a special device. And if you put chips on the bottom, then not only will it not burn, it can also fly. Speaking of the plate, it must be packed, otherwise the flight of chips over the meat will be ensured. And it also confuses me a little, but will it be possible to organize something like a water seal there. I have a glass lid at my airfryer ...

And what is its uniqueness?

She makes tea very delicately, but at the same time very strong. There, tea is poured into a special sieve, and water enters it in the form of steam many times, condenses and flows into the kettle. That is, all valuable substances are extracted from tea. Moreover, you can brew one and the same portion of tea several times, without losing taste and aroma. And she also has a mode of maintaining the temperature, that is, the tea always remains hot.

[filirina]

filirina, Ira, I have never smoked anything and I think very little about it. But one girl, also hanging out here, tried to make a cigar out of foil and put wood chips there, and she was quite happy with the result.
In the meantime, I am putting in order the room in which I am going to smoke and think about what to buy for this process. I will definitely visit the Arab-Turkish shops, maybe I can find a double boiler here.
Thanks for the great master class!

I have an aluminum mantle somewhere on the mezzanine lying around, but there is no gas, the panel is electric. And the oven too.
What to do?

Irisha! I really liked this idea, I will definitely try to do it! But in the fall!

And you can smoke like that

Hot smoked salmon (Admin)

Somewhere on the forum there is also a recipe for smoking meat and fish in a saucepan, I don't remember the author
ABOUT! Found the author!

Smoking in pots Zepter (Mar_k)

Irishka, how I almost missed such a rationalization proposal! You are a genius! I have an electric smokehouse Anuka, but life is such an interesting and mysterious thing that you never know what in it, in this life, you may need tomorrow. I will try to find a mantle on sale. Where have I seen her recently? Just three weeks ago. I never paid attention, but then I saw and stood examining. Do I need it? And here you explained everything so clearly - we need it!

About smoking in an airfryer. Once I tried to smoke in it. But all this is complete nonsense, not smoking. Although then it seemed to me that it was cool. I bought special grates for sawdust. I put it on a low stand down, on a high one under the very fan above the product. Wetted sawdust. In general, various dances with tambourines ... You get neither color, nor aroma, nor taste. Color only with onion peel, Aroma with liquid smoke ... This is not smoking, but ala similitude.
When Brand pressure cookers and smokehouses appeared, and tried to conduct an experiment in a simple pressure cooker, without a smoking function, if you search on the forum, you can find my experiences. The result was much better than in the airfryer.

I will try to find a mantle on sale. Where have I seen her recently?

Helen, how nice that she dropped by! We have such happiness as mantis are sold mainly in the markets. Maybe you do. Although I will tell you a secret, they, like juice cookers, are all Russian-made. They can be sold in the net. (Juice cookers Kalitva, and the mantle - I don't remember, it was a long time ago ...)

And you can smoke like that

Tanya, thanks for the links! It is very useful for everyone to find their own way to get smoked meat using not very toxic technology!

[Girls]

I will try to find a mantle on sale. Where have I seen her recently?

Girls, there are mantys of different sizes on ozone. But, they can be called "steamer"

juicer Kalitva, and mantyshnitsa - I don't remember, it was a long time ago.

Mantyshnitsa is also Kalitva, costs a penny for olx, bought and costs, you have to try.

Mantyshnitsa is also Kalitva

Hello, countrywoman! Thank you! I thought I was also Kalitva, but I doubted! Try it, of course! Anything is more useful than store rubbish with an unknown composition!

Girls! How much is your Kalitva worth? Every week we have a bus to Ukraine and back, and the guys deliver luggage in both directions for a small amount. If I get the nerve and ask to help me find this magic?

And now I ran through the prices in Krasnodar. 6 liters 2 nets - 1100, 6 liters 3 nets - 1400. On Avito 6l 2 nets are not used, the new company sells for 500 rubles. It seems to me that aluminum is more expensive there. In Moscow: Manty-Kazan Demidov plant aluminum 6L, 4 disc, new-1100, 3 discs - 950 rubles. So it will be possible to buy. High bude

High bude

That's for sure! The only thing is that they come in slightly different designs. My opinion is that it is necessary to take it with removable mesh circles. Then it will be possible to push the whole chicken into the pan!

I can then look at the market how much we have mantis, but now the weather is very hot and I practically do not leave the house.

Girls! How much is your Kalitva worth?

I took my new one for $ 4, in its original packaging, even the handles are not screwed

Now the cheapest are 10-15-18 dollars

Irina, thanks for such a cool master class! I have a mantis, I must try to smoke something in it!

[Ira]

Ira, great idea! I am taking it into service. We have just opened a store called "Funny prices", there are these mantas. Now I know that I definitely need it

Our store has just opened "Funny prices",

Anya, the name of the store just won!

I have a mantis

That's right, there is and is idle! To work, her, lazy!

our old lady-mantle cooker will get off, groaning, from the top shelf and, you look, will be retrained for a while, otherwise it’s zapension Eryle with enty multicooker princesses

with metal steamers too strained

Vika, look:
this cloakcooking, you know - the mantoovers are low and wide

and there are aluminum steamcooking, perforated pans they have higher and narrower

= buy 2-3 aluminum casters of the desired diameter (same)drillYour bunny is in the upper pots of holes and put whatever you like according to the above-described method, and in each such not very low, drilled saucepan, you can insert a metal stand under the hot = there will be more tiers

here in a very serious case of not bringing from Ukraine

we have (for example) Mantovarka Kalitva 180635-RAP 1 490 r

heh, but in steamcooking just and more pieces will enter

[filirina]

filirina, Ira, what is the name of the teapot? And the idea was adopted. And the mantle is exactly the same. I bought a new one with separate pots, and I took this one to the garage, I need to bring it back.

It seems to me that you need exactly the same one as yours for smoking, otherwise, if each tier is a separate saucepan, more water locks will need to be made.

here, Luda as correctly noted for sure !!!!

what is the name of the teapot

He's my nameless. And the girls bought the same one from Tefal. In general, now there are other tea makers. We even have a topic about tea makers on a bread machine.

Added Wednesday 22 Jun 2016 07:33 PM

if each tier is a separate saucepan, more water traps will need to be made.

Most likely yes, and the main thing is that these tiers are too small. And in a whole saucepan, you can put the whole chicken for smoking. I did something like that - very tasty! Only the chicken must be well salted and boiled a little before smoking, especially large.

[Irina]

Irina, Thank you for the idea!
we seem to have mantis and in Russian stores and in Chinese there are steamers.
and there is a bazaar with every ball-bar, but in general I will look.

Mila1, Milasha, I also fell for this teapot and found it already with us. ooh .. I'll probably order. not expensive at all like there and you can brew coffee.

[Mirabel]

Mirabel, Vikul, you're lucky, I've already found it and it's inexpensive I'll look for it too

[filirina]

filirina-Irisha, I would give those a prize for the idea !!!! Here is the truth girls, what you are all the same good fellows! We are not afraid of any sanctions !!!
Well, for the sight of appetizing necks (are they katstsa ?!) I would have put those and a monument! I salivated and washed the monitor with my tongue from the splashes!
These used beer necks and a movie ... oh, where is my health (((

[filirina]

filirina, IrinaThanks for such a great idea! But as a drip tray, you can probably adapt a tin foil mold, I saw such different sizes in Auchan.

it seems like there you can also make coffee

In the instructions for mine it was written that the current is tea!

Added Wednesday 22 Jun 2016 10:13 PM

the kind of mouth-watering necks (are they kazza ?!)

Irisha, they are darlings! As the girls requested the recipe, I crawled into the freezer and dug out the duck necks. So we got smoked duck necks, though not salty, but niche, the soup will fix everything.

Julia, of course you can! It's just that at the time of the first experiment I had a can of herring. Since then it has stuck!
