Smoke ring (cooking)
Food characteristic of smoked meats / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A smoke ring is a region of pink colored meat in the outermost 8-10 millimeters of smoked meats.[1] It is usually seen on smoked chicken, pork, and beef. There is some debate as to whether or not the presence of the smoke ring is actually an indicator of quality of the finished barbecue product but it is widely considered to be a desirable characteristic of barbecue.
