Colgin Liquid Smoke Hickory Flavor, 4-Ounce Bottles (Pack of 12)

I brought these as an experiment for my new found cooking as I am very much into food due to illness and I read this is a product vegans use for making vegan bacon. I found the cost very good for the four but as yet I haven't used it may be when I do I will write more about the product. They arrived safely and on time. I have one complain about Colgin though. before I brought this I wanted to know the exact ingredients due to food intolerance's and twice I emailed them and they just wouldn't answer my question about which vinegar is used. They clarified it was gluten free but as a strict gluten free person who knows about this idea of a product being labelled gluten free if it is below a certain level and that some people can still be affected especially where vinegar is concerned so I am very keen to know which vinegar is used and Colgin just will not answer. I had the same question about gluten free Worcester sauce with another company and they gladly told me which vinegar they used but Colgin didn't so I am still searching for that answer but decided to take a chance and purchase these.

Never heard of liquid smoke until I came across a recipe for pulled pork which mentioned it. Me and my wife both love the smell and taste of hickory smoked BBQ. Unfortunately here in the UK our weather doesn't give us too many opportunities to get the BBQ out so this sounded just the job.Used this for the first time last night on good quality fresh Aberdeen Angus beefburgers and we weren't disappointed. As this was our first try, and not knowing how strong the taste would be, I only used about 4 to 5 smallish drops/splashes on each side and fried in a frying pan. The aroma was fantastic as was the taste. You get a lovely natural BBQ smokey taste. I'd probably be more liberal with it next time and even marinade the meat with it for a while before cooking.This is simply perfect for getting that BBQ flavour without the BBQ. We both loved this product and can't wait to use it again. The bottles were actually bigger than expected so really good value for money. Highly recommended.

First of all I ordered these when they were out of stock, but I was prepared to wait as the pack of 4 was a good deal compared to other sellers on amazon. I was surprised at how quickly they turned, just a few days later.I've never used liquid smoke before but was curious and so I got some to use for pulled pork. I added about a teaspoon to full pork shoulder which was slow cooked for around 6 hours. The smell is so authentic, it's real smoke and there's nothing artificial about it. It added a subtle smokiness which was very enjoyable, although next time I might be braver and double up the dosage!I also tried it in beans and it was very nice!

Few pros, few cons. The bottles are small, given they are only 118ml but 4 for the price of what some sellers are selling 1 for is positive!The consistency and thickness of the liquid is like soy, I was expecting a thicker sauce, almost like bbq sauce!However the taste is second to none, really smoky and adds a different kick to foods!

Well, it took a long while for delivery but my god was it worth it. I mean, I love BBQ burgers, but living without a garden makes BBQing impossible. But with this glorious stuff, the world of delicious BBQ flavour has been opened up to me in my own kitchen. Never before have grilled burgers tasted so good. And now I can't wait to try it on more things. Chicken, Steak, Pulled Pork. The possibilities are endless.I'm considering adding it to other, no traditionally BBQ foods.

Brought this as I had heard about it on the TV.So far I have used it twice, but I am still gauging the amount needed. Not to ruin my meals I have started off with a small amount and I am working it up to get the intensity which I want, but I can still taste the slightly smoky flavour.

Was expecting much more taste and flavour from these. But it's nice, helps to add different flavour to your usual dishes. Definitely worth a trying! (I guess it can be added to virtually anything you bake/roast/fry afterwards - meats, veggies, eggs, potatoes, nuts.. just to name a few)

We have a difference of opinion in our house about this!My son loves it and puts it on everything, even chips!Daughter likes it tooI find it a bit bitter and it tricky to figure how much to use - some dishes overwhelm it, some its very strong
