Favorite Cooking Smells

[Bruce Wrenn]

Today, boiling some chicken off the bone for Brunswick Stew, the smell got me to thinking about favorite cooking smells. Of course everybody likes the smell of baking bread. I include the chicken boiling, the smell of green peppers, and onions on the griddle, and the smell of burning charcoal. What's some of your favorites?

POT ROAST!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for asking. Mrs Z fixes it every year for my birthday. As well as a few times in between. Heaven.

And of course BACON!!!!! Yeah- charcoal is a good one too. So many...

This one is easy. Indoor cooking smell is bacon. Outdoor cooking smell is beef brisket on the smoker with mesquite fuel.

Rosemary and Garlic on a pork roast!

Apple and pumpkin pies in the oven.

[George Yetka]

Maple bacon

[Jim Becker]

Too many to list, but the slow cooker always pleases when it's got something going...

Any BBQ in the smoker!!
A big skillet of fried potatoes, jalapenos and onions!!
If you get both at the same time I think it would be heavenly

[Jim Koepke]

It would be easier to list the ones that are not enjoyed. In other words, I like almost all of them.

Burges on the grill.
I also like the smell of stick welding flux. Takes me back to simpler days…

For Christmas, I make "Smells of Christmas." I take a large stockpot, and add cinnamon sticks, dried oranges, tangerine, lemons, nutmeg, grapefruit skins (small pieces), vanilla and whole cloves. Add water, bring to a simmer, and it smells like Christmas.

My mothers macaroni and cheese. My dad used to go to a Kiwanis dinner meeting and my mom would make macaroni and cheese using Kraft Old English cheese. We would eat while watchingCarol Burnet.

Kraft Old English came in a brick like Velveeta but it more like cheddar. Sadly,Kraft stopped selling it in the US. I think maybe they still sell it in Canada but only wholesale. Sysco shows it on their website. I need to cultivate a business owner in canada willing to buy the cheese and ship it to me. That’s a lot of moving parts.
