Last night I was taking to a friend about cold smoking. He lives in Asia and in interested in selling packaged meats online that he prepares in his restaurant. He wants to sell meats that are cold smoked, uncured and uncooked. He has asked me for some advice about this.
Everything I've seen online for sale are meats that have been smoked and fully cooked (I'm assuming for safety reasons). Is there a way that he could do this at scale? He was talking about cold smoking chicken thighs, pork loins, pork shoulder, steaks,etc, then vacuum sealing and freezing them.
At home I would have no problem cold smoking a couple steaks for an hour or two then freezing them for later use, but meats that are for sale commercially are a different story.
Does anyone know of any places that sell cold smoked but uncooked meats? Would it be possible to pump in cold smoke to a walk-in fridge that's full of meat?
Any advice or insights on this is appreciated! Thank you!
