href=\"https:\/\/www.cdc.gov\/quarantine\/index.html\">quarantine<\/a>.\u00a0 Without question, this will test the limits of each family member\u2019s patience, flexibility, and cooperation.<\/p>\n<p>Not only are you responsible for ensuring everyone\u2019s safety, you\u2019re tasked with keeping them entertained and fed.\u00a0 Right now, with internet and utilities intact, you have the option to stream programs, movies, videos, etc., as well as use electrical and gas appliances.\u00a0 This helps to keep our sanity.\u00a0 But have you paused to plan for when those items become interrupted or permanently halted?<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m going to list for you some ways of how to keep food interesting and ensuring that you can remain comfortably fed while also enjoying foods that you consume when you\u2019re not <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/tech\/reviewedcom\/2020\/03\/12\/everything-you-need-home-if-youre-quarantined-coronavirus\/5012744002\/\">quarantined<\/a><\/p>\n<h2>A Few Tips on How to Keep Food Interesting:<\/h2>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>#1<\/strong> <strong>Wood Fired Treats: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Part of the reason we go out to eat is we order items that wouldn\u2019t be commonly prepared at home.\u00a0 Often, this includes foods that are live fired such as grilling over charcoal and\/or wood or smoked with hardwood.\u00a0 This is where those larger cuts of meat come in handy.\u00a0 You can fire up the grill with a two-zone set up and some hardwood for added flavor, cooking enormous quantities of meat that can be used for many meals.\u00a0 Think pork shoulder, full racks of pork ribs, whole chicken and turkey, beef roasts and brisket.\u00a0 There are so many options including whole fish.\u00a0 Obviously, if we lose gas and electric services, you\u2019ll need an alternative grill like a charcoal unit, fire pit, wood burning fireplace, or butane-using equipment.\u00a0 Or, you can make your own using bricks or rocks and a grate from another unit or simply place cast iron right in the coal bed.\u00a0 Even a charcoal chimney starter can be used in a pinch as a grill.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#2 Foods That Never Expire: <\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Powdered milk, dried beans, Spam, whole grains, honey, dried pasta.\u00a0 These are the items you\u2019ll want to have on hand for the \u201cwhen it happens\u201d scenario as they last forever.\u00a0 Powdered milk can easily be mixed with other ingredients to make sauces, milk, and treats.\u00a0 Spam is one of those canned meats that can be a go to for emergency needs but what likely isn\u2019t know is just how versatile it can be in recipes.\u00a0 This is a perfect item to grill or even smoke as substitute for fresh meats like sausage, bacon, ground meats.\u00a0 It can be sliced for making sandwiches and sliders, cubed and diced to be used with eggs, rice, quinoa, and pasta.\u00a0 Dried beans and pasta are also perfect for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feastmagazine.com\/cook\/features\/article_f63d5174-ecde-11e8-9abe-1b4720a108ec.html\">cooking<\/a> on a grill even though they need a longer time in water to cook tender.\u00a0 Use grill-safe cookware on your grill, fire pit, or wood burning fireplace and you\u2019re on your way to a great meal.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#3 Hot Smoking:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Preserving meat can be a challenge if you don\u2019t have refrigeration for storing.\u00a0 That\u2019s where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.restaurantbusinessonline.com\/art-science-smoking-foods\">hot smoking<\/a> becomes a skill set that could possibly save you from going without animal protein.\u00a0 You need to make a hot coal bed that produces a lot of smoke not flames.\u00a0 That means you\u2019ll need green hardwood to produce the smoke, which is wood containing about 20% moisture.\u00a0 Collect hardwoods like maple, oak, hickory, cherry, etc., and make a racking or hook system that will allow the meat to hang in an enclosure (a wood clothes drying rack works great for this purpose).\u00a0 A modified smokehouse made from a tarp that is anchored to the ground works just fine, if the enclosure can hold the smoke around the meat and maintain a temperature of 150\u00b0F. The better your enclosure the better it will retain heat and will require far less wood. Meat smoked for 12 hours will be preserved for about 1 week, while meat smoked for two days can last 14-28 days depending on the type and cut.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>#4 Outdoors:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One benefit of getting to be home is the option to engage in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.campchef.com\/outdoor-cooking-guide.html\">outdoor cooking<\/a>.\u00a0 Take advantage of doing as much as you can in the outdoors, whether on a standard LP\/Gas grill, charcoal grill, fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or other outdoor equipment.\u00a0 It provides an opportunity to enjoy the air and feel less like a prisoner.\u00a0 Also, keep in mind that the more options you give yourself for cooking, the more food you can produce.\u00a0 For instance, you might have a pork shoulder smoking with wood on one grill, while doing a sheet pan of vegetables on another unit, while making a sauce or flavored butter in a saucepan on the side burner or a butane cooker.\u00a0 Just remember, if you are using wood and\/or charcoal, once the heat is reduced to hot embers, use that to do additional foods like potatoes, peppers, onions, or even\u00a0 put a covered Dutch oven in the hot bed to cook another day\u2019s meal.\u00a0 <a href=\"https:\/\/seniorcaretips.wordpress.com\/2009\/05\/13\/7-easy-meal-recipes-for-shut-in-seniors\/\">You can cook any meal on outdoor equipment<\/a> so begin to experiment and get a comfort zone, and you will be a survivor in any situation.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re quarantined, what type of cooking are you doing?\u00a0 Leave us a comment and subscribe to get our latest tips, techniques, recipes and the science behind the fire and smoke, for all live fire cooking methods. \u00a0That\u2019s SmokinLicious!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5025\" style=\"width: 160px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5025\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5025\" src=\"https:\/\/www.smokinlicious.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/web-chunk-dude-with-glasses-and-reading.jpeg\" alt=\"More related reading on Applewood and other orchard woods see our smoking &amp;
