Rubs in the kitchen: a sprint of taste
What is a kitchen rub?
Have you ever heard of rubs? A rub is a mixture of spices, herbs, and sometimes salt that is rubbed onto meat before cooking. This technique, especially popular in American cuisine, is used to deeply flavor food, creating a crispy, aromatic crust.
Unlike marinating, which involves immersing the meat in a liquid solution, rubs are rubbed into the surface of the meat, creating a sort of aromatic crust that develops during cooking.
The term "rub" comes from the English "to rub", which means "to rub". In short, a real magic touch that transforms a simple piece of meat into a real explosion of flavor.
When to put rub on meat?
The best time to rub meat is just before cooking. This gives the spices time to soak into the meat and release their aromas.
It is advisable to dry the meat thoroughly with kitchen paper before applying the rub, so that it adheres better.
