At first, smoking was almost incidental. Fresh, usually salt-cured foods were strung up around a cooking area or in vents in the roof, at which point the smoke generated during cooking and heating would affect whatever had been caught that day. Over time, separate smokehouses were created in which large quantities of fish and meat could be smoked at a distance from living quarters. And with the development of electric smokers, smoking attained a higher level of sophistication still.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"0-full-steam-ahead-enjoy-total-control-with-the-electric-food-smoker-\">Full steam ahead! Enjoy total control with the electric food smoker&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s fish or meat, there\u2019s a perfect temperature for every type of smoked delight. When using a hot wood-fired oven, controlling the temperature over a longer period is challenging. Wood-fired smokehouses can lose up to 40\u00b0C during smoking if not continuously reheated. Over extended periods, temperature fluctuations become a significant factor. To get around this, you have to constantly monitor and adjust the temperature \u2013 a bit of a hassle to say the least.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an electric <a href=\"https:\/\/www.expondo.ie\/food-smoker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">smoker<\/a>, a thermostat automatically activates the heating coils when the measured temperature deviates from the one you\u2019ve set. Because it keeps an eye on the temperature for you, you can focus on other tasks or simply relax. Better yet, the electric smoker holds the specified temperature more consistently and without significant fluctuations. All this leads to better results when smoking.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides temperature, smoke quality is a critical factor. You achieve the best results with wood chips that smoulder gently during smoking. It\u2019s important the wood doesn\u2019t catch fire, so stick to glowing embers for best results. To prevent smoke from escaping during smoking, regulate the temperature outside the device. An extendable drawer allows you to add new chips from the outside into the interior of the smokehouse cabinet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Electric smokers offer you the following advantages:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Constant temperatures \u2013 an electric smoking oven lets you accurately control the temperature and keep it constant. Unlike traditional smoking stoves which rely on wood or coal, electric smokers stick precisely to the set temperature.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Easy to use \u2013 electric-powered smoking ovens require no technical know-how. Most models are equipped with a simple control panel with which to set the temperature and smoking time.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Less smoke \u2013 as electric smokers use electricity, you\u2019ll avoid the unwanted excess smoke that generated with traditional wood or coal stoves.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Compact \u2013 electric smokers take up less room than traditional smokers, making them ideal for use in a smaller spaces.&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Safe \u2013 since you there\u2019s no open flame, there\u2019s no need to fret about flying sparks or unattended fires with an electric smoker&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n              <div id=\"expondo-products-block_848adae44aee7c6b90c6f93c7e67c36f\" class=\"expondo-block expondo-block--products\">\n          <div class=\"expondo-block__inner-container\">\n            <ul class=\"list list--products\">\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-105-l-royal-catering-4-grids-10012168\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10012168_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-105-l-royal-catering-4-grids-10012168\">\n                        Food Smoker &#8211; 105 L &#8211; Royal Catering &#8211; 4 grids                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-147-l-royal-catering-8-racks-10012167\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10012167_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-147-l-royal-catering-8-racks-10012167\">\n                        Food Smoker &#8211; 147 L &#8211; Royal Catering &#8211; 8 racks                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                              <ins>648.00&nbsp;\u20ac<\/ins>\n                    <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-4-racks-70-l-10010731\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10010731_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-4-racks-70-l-10010731\">\n                        Food Smoker &#8211; 4 Racks &#8211; 70 L                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                                          <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                              <li class=\"item\">\n                  <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-8-racks-10010730\">\n                    <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.expondo.com\/asset\/product_photos\/10010730_photo_1\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" alt=\"\" class=\"image\" \/>\n                  <\/a>\n                  <strong class=\"title\">\n                    <a href=\"\/royal-catering-food-smoker-8-racks-10010730\">\n                        Food Smoker &#8211; 8 Racks                    <\/a>\n                  <\/strong>\n\n                                      <span class=\"price\">\n                              <ins>647.00&nbsp;\u20ac<\/ins>\n                    <\/span>\n                                  <\/li>\n                          <\/ul>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        \n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-healthy-and-delicious-%E2%80%93-prepare-fish-and-meat-with-an-electric-smoker-\">Healthy and delicious \u2013 prepare fish and meat with an electric smoker&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Nothing beats the rich smoky flavours of well-barbecued meat or fish.

Because they\u2019re considerably smaller than electric smoker, they\u2019re ideal for small meat portions or two to three fish per smoking session. With an electric smoker cabinet, you can smoke larger quantities of meat or fish at once. As smoke not only enhances but also preserves the food, producing large quantities of smoked fish or meat makes sense not only for fisheries or butcher shops but also for smaller to medium-sized restaurants.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You want to offer a variety of smoked dishes? In the smoke cabinet, there&#8217;s room for fish and meat for different dishes. Essentially, you either place the smoked goods on permeable grates or hang them on hooks in the smoking oven. This method maximises the usage of the inner cabinet space. Additionally, you can combine various fish types in a single smoking session.

But the electric smoker cleaning process is much easier than you might think. A key benefit lies in their smooth stainless-steel construction. Not only is the material highly heat-resistant but creates surfaces that are easy to clean with just a few simple steps.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The clever construction of the smoking chamber also promotes hygiene. You can quickly remove the ash using a collecting container. The container also protects the heating coils from dripping fish or meat fats when the smoker is in use. You can easily remove movable elements such as grates or hooks for thorough cleaning. These components are also made of easy-to-clean, food-grade stainless steel, ensuring the quality of the food is never in question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-faq-fast-answers-to-common-questions-\">FAQ: Fast answers to common questions&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-can-i-use-a-smoker-indoors-\">Can I use a smoker indoors?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>very smoker produces smoke, which is continuously emitted through a chimney during smoking.

The wood serves both for heating with an open flame and for smoking. This process requires that you adhere to the fire safety regulations for the gastronomy industry. With an electric smoker, you use a safe heating coil for heating. Smoke is generated via the use of a relatively small amount of wood chips. Thus, the actual smoking process is separated from the heating process. You can control the heat more easily and achieve more precise results.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-what-can-i-smoke-in-an-electric-smoker-\">What can I smoke in an electric smoker?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s meat, fish, cheese, tofu, or vegetables \u2013 all foods traditionally smoked can be prepared in an electric smoker.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Smoking food kills bacteria and other microorganisms, so meat or fish stay fresher for longer.
