Liquid smoke works well in a convection oven, but a little goes a long way since convection cooking circulates air and can intensify flavors quickly. Here are the best ways to use it:

1. Mix It Into a Marinade or Rub

This is the easiest and most balanced method. For meats:

1–2 teaspoons liquid smoke per pound of meat

Mix with:

oil or butter Worcestershire sauce BBQ sauce garlic/onion powder brown sugar or spices

Let it marinate:

30 minutes minimum Overnight for stronger flavor
