Our New Rubs are here!
Looking to add some flavour to your cooking? Good news! The Cornish Smoke Squad's new rubs are here. Whether you're planning a BBQ or just a simple weeknight meal, we have the right blend to help with your next dish.
Our spice rubs are made with the finest ingredients, which give you a variety of tastes. From rich and buttery to smoky and warm, this collection will likely become a regular in your kitchen. Use them as classic meat rubs, sprinkle them over chips and roasted vegetables for an instant boost, or mix them into marinades – however you choose to cook, they’ll bring the flavour.
For even more flavour, these rubs are designed to work well with our hot sauces. We like to use our favourite Cornish Smoke Squad sauce as a base, mixing it generously with our chosen rub to create a flavourful marinade for our favourite dishes.
Let’s take a closer look at our new flavour options:
The F'ing Hot Rub: Enjoy the Warmth with Flavour That Delivers
For those who enjoy a good bit of spice, The F'ing Hot Rub provides a pleasant warmth that's noticeable. It's been made to go with our F'ing Hot One scotch bonnet hot sauce. It's all made in small batches in Cornwall without any artificial additives or preservatives.
If you're new to The F'ing Hot Rub or prefer something a little milder, start with a smaller amount and add more as you taste. Just remember, you can always add more, but you can't take it away! Pairing spicy dishes with cooling items like creamy coleslaw or a bit of sour cream can also help balance the warmth.
Why You'll Like It:
- 🔥 Pleasant Warmth: We've carefully mixed a selection of hot dried chillies to give a satisfying warmth for those who like spice.
- 🧅 Good Flavour Base: The savoury notes of garlic, onion, and tomato powder give a balanced and good-tasting profile along with the warmth.
- 🍗 Good for Spicy Dishes: Great for chicken wings, adding depth to your chilli con carne, or sprinkling over fajitas and tacos for a comforting experience.
- ⏰ Improves Flavour During Cooking: Apply this dry rub before cooking to let the chilli flavours soak in well.
Chef’s Tip: For a truly warm experience, combine The F'ing Hot Rub with our F’ing Hot One scotch bonnet hot sauce to make a flavourful marinade for wings.
The BBQ Rub: Get That Classic Barbecue Taste
Our BBQ Rub is a balanced mix of smoky paprika, onion, and garlic, made in small batches without any extra thickeners – just pure barbecue flavour. Get ready to bring that classic smoky taste to your grilling.
The right cut of meat can really change the final flavour. For slow-cooked BBQ, tougher, fattier cuts like brisket and pork shoulder benefit a lot from the low and slow process and the taste of our BBQ Rub. For quicker grilling, cuts like chicken thighs or pork chops easily take on the flavours of all our rubs.
Why You'll Like It:
- 🍖 Balanced Flavour Profile: We've carefully balanced smoky, savoury, and subtly sweet notes to make a good BBQ rub.
- 💨 Smoky Scent and Taste: The smoked paprika provides that essential BBQ character.
- 🥩 Good for Slow Cooking: This rub is excellent as a marinade for brisket and pork shoulder, allowing for deep, rich flavour to develop.
- 🍔 Quick BBQ Flavour: Even if you're short on time, a quick rub on pork chops or burgers before cooking will give that good BBQ taste.
Our Chef's Secret: For a good BBQ marinade, combine our BBQ Rub with The Smoky One chipotle hot sauce. This combination works well with pork dishes, creating a rich and satisfying flavour.
The Garlic Butter Rub: Making Your Everyday Meals Better
Our small-batch Garlic Butter Rub is good for adding a savoury and comforting element to many dishes. Made with our special mix of garlic, herbs, and butter, this rub is a simple way to improve your cooking.
The Cornish Smoke Squad rubs work well in marinades. The oil or liquid in the marinade helps the flavour go deeper into the meat. Try combining our rubs with our hot sauces, a little acid (like vinegar or citrus juice), and some oil for good results.
Why You'll Like It:
- 🧄 Clear Garlic Flavour: For garlic lovers, this rub gives a noticeable amount of that good taste in every bite.
- 🧈 Gentle Richness: The subtle buttery notes add a layer of flavour that makes simple dishes better.
- 🍗 Useful for Many Dishes: Good for flavouring roast chicken, adding a savoury coating to crispy chips, and making vegetables taste better. It's also good with plant-based options!
- 🔥 Flavour Melts In: As it heats, the garlic butter flavour melts and mixes well into your food.
Top Tip: Improve your Sunday roast chicken by putting a good amount of this rub on before cooking. Also, try sprinkling it over your roast potatoes for an extra layer of good flavour.
Our new rubs are a good tool for changing those mid-week meals from ordinary to more interesting. Get creative and try new things – there are many flavour possibilities!
