Coffee is for red eye gravy. And I'm not even from the south and know that.
Now what this Yankee boy learned from his dad,
Kitchen Bouquet
Kitchen Bouquet is a bottled condiment sauce used as an ingredient in cooking, rather than as a table condiment. It is mostly used for its ability to add a dark brown colour. It's generically referred to as a "browning agent."
Some people think it has no flavour; some people think the flavour is an important part of it; some people don't like the flavour, thinking it tastes burnt. The truth is, the flavour tastes mildly like beef. It is made from herbs, spices, vegetables and water.
The ingredients listed are: caramel, vegetable base (water, carrots, onion, celery, parsnips, turnips, salt, parsley, spices), sodium benzoate (less than .01 or 1% to preserve freshness) and sulfating agents.
It comes in an iconic jar whose look hasn't changed for decades, if ever. The bottle is brown, with a yellow label. The bottle was glass, but is now brown plastic.
Kitchen Bouquet is used in small quantities, so one bottle lasts a long time. When used to colour meat, you brush it on lightly. It is good for people who are using electric indoor grills, but who don't want their food to look grey. Brushing it on the top of meat before cooking can help it end up with a more well-roasted look.
It can also be used to darken gravy, soups and marinades, and to enhance the colour of foods cooked in the microwave or in a crockpot, which might not brown otherwise.
From time to time, Kitchen Bouquet has even been used in alcoholic drinks in place of bitters to add a bit of colour and taste.
It is a favourite of food stylists for how it can make food look deliciously roasted.
It is not the same as Maggi; Maggi has a much stronger, saltier taste,
Kitchen Bouquet is made by the Clorox company in Oakland, California. It has been made since at least Prohibition in America. It was acquired by Clorox sometime after that.
I never knew that Clorox owned it, but it makes sense considering how it will stain. lol.
