[1] The salt draws moisture from the interior of the meat to the surface, where it mixes with the salt and is then reabsorbed with the salt essentially brining the meat in its own juices. The salt rub is then rinsed off and discarded before ...
It is commonly used to flavor foods and to tenderize tougher cuts of meat. [2] The process may last seconds or days. Marinades vary between different cuisines. Marinating is similar to brining, except that brining relies on the action of salty brine rather than the action of acids or enzymes. [3]

[7] [8] As simple dwellings lacked chimneys, these structures would probably have become very smoky.It is supposed that early humans would hang meat up to dry and out of the way of pests, thus accidentally becoming aware that meat that was stored in smoky areas acquired a different flavor, and was better preserved than meat that ...
