  10. How to Smoke Cheese at Home Usually, any kind of barbecuing is going to involve temperatures somewhere around the 250 degree mark. This type of lower-temp cooking gives proteins plenty of time to break down and develop flavor. But what happens when we want to smoke something else? Cheese, for instance.

But, how do they do it? Wouldn’t 250 de...

  13. How to Wet Age Steak at Home Generally speaking, meat can be either dry-aged or wet-aged. The two techniques produce vastly different results within the same cuts of meat. It’s hard to say one tastes better than the other -- they’re simply different.
