What is liquid smoke?
If you miss the flavour of grilled meats you should definitely have liquid smoke in your pantry. Hickory or other types of wood are burned and the smoke is captured and condensed into liquid form. Recent health studies have shown that small amounts of liquid smoke are fine and less harmful than smoked foods.
How do I store the bacon bits?
Store your bacon bits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 weeks. The bacon bits must be completely cooled down before storing to avoid condensation on the inside of the container.
