Realm Enterprises, Inc., a national distributor for the SAVU Smoker Bags (http://www.hotdiggitycajun.com/home.html)will be exhibiting the Finnish made bag during the upcoming Food Network'ss Southern Food and Wine Festival, being held at the Gaylord Opryland Hotel, Nashville, TN., July 31-Aug. 2, 2009.
Smoked meats are a Scandinavian specialty and a healthy, low fat alternative to traditional frying, broiling and stewing. Thanks to a hungry inventor from Finland, cooks no longer need a
backyard smokehouse or messy, time-consuming grill to achieve that spectacular smoky taste. Enter the disposable smoker bag. Cook a whole meal in the bag, serve, and just toss the bag
when you'sre done, making cleanup a snap.
The lining of this patented, oven-safe roasting bag is coated with natural ingredients that give roasted meat, poultry or fish that smokehouse flavor. Each bag holds approximately 2 1/2
pounds (1kg) of food and cooking times vary from 15 minutes to 2 hours, depending upon the type of food being cooked. Available for all types of fish, meat or vegetables, with a choice of
alder (mild smoked) or hickory wood (medium smoked) flavor.
The bag was initially introduced in Finland in 1994, but since then has gone global, and is now selling in 26 countries. During a 1995 visit to the White House, a Finnish delegation
brought the smoker bags (http://www.hotdiggitycajun.com/hotdiggitycajun_final_007.htm)as a gift to
then-President Bill Clinton. Clinton, far away from the succulent pulled pork of his native Arkansas, was so grateful for that whiff of smoke that he sent a Christmas card to the inventor
every year for the rest of his presidency.
Cook'ss Illustrated conducted an independent test of oven-smoked ribs and named the smoker bag as the best indoor smoker on the market. The conclusion: We tested three models-two for
stovetop, one for oven. Conceptually, the stovetop models make perfect sense. The stovetop cookers had major flaws. One leaked enough smoke to overwhelm the test kitchen industrial-grade
ventilation hoods, while the other had a size and shape (small and round) that required us to cook the ribs in multiple batches.
The one option that wowed us was the SAVU Smoker Bag (http://www.hotdiggitycajun.com/hotdiggitycajun_final_006.htm), which kept the smoke in the oven. This simple system-a
mixture of ground wood chips, hardwood syrup, and natural sugars contained within the walls of a large foil bag, allowed the smoke to pass through small perforations in the foil to get to
the food contained within. The ribs emerged juicy, tender, and-after a quick run under the broiler-nicely crusted.
