McCormick Grill Mates Smokehouse Maple Seasoning, 15.5 oz

I really like this seasoning, it adds a sweet smoky flavor to a variety of foods and dishes like vegetables, chicken or fish. Very nice!

For Salmon fillets, after they have been marinated, I rub them with honey and then the Smokehouse Maple seasoning. I put them on the smoker for some slow cooking and they turn out great. When the wild run Copper River salmon are available, with their dark orange coloring, it is a real treat...steak from the sea.For the chicken I usually do two whole chickens at a time. I rub them well with olive oil then the seasoning and cook them on the smoker or grill on "beer can" stands. The skin turns out crispy and maple flavored. Both the fish and chicken are summertime favorites, but we cook them in the oven, just as described, when it's raining in Washington (October thru July).The spice has a taste that is aptly described by its name. It's smokey and maple flavored, but not too salty or sweet. It comes in smaller sized containers that I have seen at Wally Mart's grocery section if you don't want to commit to 15.5 ounces. I've never tried putting this on something after I have cooked it...I think it would be too strong and overpowering. The combination of heat, smoke and oils from the cooking meat seem to mellow it out into a perfect flavor. Additionally it is very coarse so I think it would be objectionable in your mouth if not allowed to sort of melt into whatever you were cooking. Also, I can't imagine any other fish that would taste good with this other than salmon.

I first bought this seasoning at Sam's club and it took me several months to use it all. Unfortunately they didn't have anymore for sale when I went back and I cannot find it at any of the other local grocers. I had a feeling I'd find it through Amazon.This goes well on Steak, pork, chicken and buffalo. I haven't tried it on anything else yet. The seasoning has a significant savory flavor on Steak and Buffalo, it tastes more sweet on Chicken and seems slightly spicy (not hot spicy) on pork.If I don't have time to marinade I generally like to put this onto the meat I am cooking as it flavors the meat well with little effort. It smells incredible while in the oven or on the grill and smells even better on the meat.This is best all around rub I've found as it appears to work on everything.I've also used it on corn on the cob that I've grilled on the BBQ which turned out excellent.

I love this on chicken and pulled pork which I spice up usually. . I added this to sweet potato casserole and it was scrumptious, I also used the brown sugar bourbon in many dishes. Great in vegetables. I made pumpkin ice cream and blended this in that recipe and it was outstanding. Ground it up and added to home made marshmallows to toast for a cook out. Very versatile. I will order it again

We first purchased this product in small sizes at the grocery store. Using our grill and smoker year-round we’re always looking for new seasonings and rubs. This seasoning has a BIG flavor level and is spot on in it’s rich smoky/maple taste. We now buy it in the larger sizes offered by Amazon.Primary uses are for pork roasts and chops and chicken and we want to try it on baby back ribs next. We get great compliments on the taste of meats prepared with this item.It’s fair to mention though that the product has a fairly high salt content.

This is our EVERYTHING Seasoning!Seriously. We use this on just about everything. We buy it by the case and we even have accessories for it.I like it on my corn, but the big, beautiful, hard, chunky pieces are tough to eat with corn on the cob because of the huge texture discrepancy. So I bought this spice grinder from Amazon exclusively for making powder out of the larger pieces: https://www.amazon.com/Rechargeable-Electric-Dry-Herb-Grinder/dp/B07YWXS5SJ You’ll recognize me because I also talked about the importance of this seasoning in our lives in my review there. Oh, and try it on these microwaveable pork rinds, found on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Lowreys-Bacon-Microwave-Chicharrones-Original/dp/B000UPFWW6You won’t need to grind the big pieces when you use it to rub meats before grilling, as the moisture from the meat will solve that problem for you. If you aren’t using it as a pre-grill or pre-smoke rub, you can always dump it in a bowl and add a little water.Now – and I want to make sure I am abundantly clear: I love the big, beautiful, hard, chunky pieces (which I believe to be maple-soaked garlic) and they magically settle to the bottom of the large container, making it easy for me to continually collect them and put them in my established Smokehouse Maple BIG PIECES container, which sits right next to our regular open Smokehouse Maple container. And then I spill the big pieces out on my plate and dip my crunchy pizza crusts in them. UH HUH.

Tastes amazing on steak, pork, chicken, eggs, and even in soup. Very versatile seasoning! Perfect blend of smokey sweet and salty flavor. Goes amazing with fatty meats and cooks well on the grill, and in an oven or skillet. Most of the ingredients have a medium thickness. A little bit goes a long way, but it is very forgiving if you apply in excess.Out of all the seasonings in my collection, which is extensive, this is the only seasoning I regularly run out of.Highly recommended!

Ok, so I may seem over the top here, but this has become my favorite seasoning. I use it if I'm grilling pork chops, and most definitely use it on my steak, weather I'm grilling or making kabobs in the air fryer. Heck I even use it on the peppers and onions. It's delicious. I started by buying the small bottles at the local grocery store. Used it so much that I'm actually on my third big bottle that I bought off of Amazon. Can't find the big bottles in the local stores. As a matter of fact I use it when I make home made potatoe chips in the air fryer. Kind of a sweet BBQ flavor. I just love it, thats all there is too it.
