Try expanding your collection beyond the white and black for intense flavor and a bit of adventure. There is a rainbow of peppercorns to choose from to boost the flavor (and heat) of your food in [Spiced](. We recommend buying them whole and grinding them yourself (ground pepper tastes as dusty as it looks). Use coarse Himalayan pink salt anywhere you’d like clean salt flavor and lovely color, and make flavored salts such as Cumin-Sesame Salt to sprinkle on grilled steak and roasted cauliflower and Sriracha Salt to sprinkle on avocado toast and fresh noodles. [Pages from the book: Finishing Salts]( smoked salt Buying flavored salts at the supermarket can be expensive. It’s easy to make your own at home. Why not make your own flavored salts at home? Smoked salt, for example, is a simple concoction of kosher salt and liquid smoke that is stirred together, microwaved, dried, and cooled. Sprinkle it on grilled meats and vegetables, roasted asparagus, and caramels. › tasting notes Rich, rustic, hints of hickory, cherry, or apple. › try with Sprinkle on grilled meats and vegetables, roasted asparagus, caramels. recipe Thick-Cut Pork Chops with Smoked Salt We reverse-sear our succulent chops (oven first, then stove) to create a browned, caramelized crust and then sprinkle them with smoked salt, which complements the sweetness of the pork without covering it up like a sauce might do. [GIVE IT A RUB: Robust coatings for meat and more.]( Spice rubs are combinations of spices that work together to create a complex aromatic mix; apply them to proteins and vegetables. When the spiced food hits heat—from the oven, pan, grill, or oil—the spices’ flavors come alive. We offer up seven rubs to make yourself or purchase at the market, including jerk rub (make Oven-Roasted Jerk Pork Ribs) and cajun-style rub (make Blackened Snapper with Rémoulade). Here are just a few more, along with how to put them to use: classic steak rub This earthy, herbal, zesty rub is a popular steakhouse seasoning—for more than just steak. › how to use Sprinkle on loaded baked potatoes, rub on swordfish steaks or hot smoked salmon before grilling, mix into ground beef for burgers, toss with mushrooms before roasting recipe Thick-Cut Steakhouse Oven Fries Irresistibly crunchy potato wedges with fluffy-creamy interiors and crisp exteriors. Toss with Classic Steak Rub and your choice of finishing salts just before serving. five-spice powder Chinese five-spice powder has a kick that offsets richness in both sweet and savory recipes. › how to use Rub on chicken or duck breasts before searing, shake into a whiskey sour, sauté with kale, stir into batters, use in mulled cider recipe Peri Peri Grilled Chicken Coated with a paste packing the bite of fresh garlic, the sting of dried chiles, and the umami depth of tomato paste, this chicken disappears in an instant at barbecues.

Check out the blends, infusions, and distillations we use to spice up our sweets, along with breakfast treats, breads, and desserts we developed to use them, in [Spiced](. pumpkin pie spice Pumpkin pie spice has become more than a baking ingredient—it’s a part of popular culture. › how to use Stir into oatmeal or applesauce; toss with apples before sautéing, baking, or roasting; sub for cinnamon in cinnamon rolls; add to coffee, mulled cider, or a hot toddy; flavor cream cheese frosting recipe Pumpkin Spice Muffins Pumpkin muffins become multidimensional and full-flavored with a slight tingle from our pumpkin pie spice. To get the most out of its flavor, we added the spice mix to both the muffin batter and the sweet, crunchy streusel topping. ginger Ground ginger adds a warm, spicy flavor and aroma to recipes. Dried ginger is sharper than fresh; because of profound differences in moisture, pungency, and flavor, they aren't interchangeable in recipes. recipe Molasses Spice Cookies Molasses is an assertive sweetener, so we wanted a powerful yet balanced team of complementary spices for our cookies. Cinnamon, ground ginger, cloves, allspice, and black pepper provided warmth and just enough bite, and a spoonful of vanilla smoothed out any rough edges. A roll in homemade Vanilla Sugar complemented the spices within without overshadowing them. From Grinding to Storing: Keeping Your Spice Game Fresh Ground or whole? You’ll get the best flavor from whole spices you grind at home just before using them. Grinding releases volatile compounds that give a spice its flavor and aroma (compounds that disappear the longer a ground spice is stored). Our pick in pepper mills makes it easy to select the size of the grind you want (choose from among six fixed settings). Its transparent body is easy to load and grasp. OUR WINNER: [The Cole & Mason Derwent Gourmet Precision Pepper Mill]( Our go-to inexpensive coffee grinder creates an exceptionally fine grind of all spices.
