Product Info.

Preservatives:

Other than salt, MONTANA BOUNTY FOODS products have NO M.S.G. or other preservatives.

Shelf Life:

Although there are no preservatives, "Deep-Pit Seasonings", and other products have a very long shelf life - minimum of a year. )Buffalo Chips, and Frontier Sourdough Starter have perishables, but with proper temperature consistency, they will keep for several months.)

Marinating:

Mix one ounce of Deep-pit Seasoning with one cup water (you may add a little cooking oil, if desired) and marinate frozen or thawed meat for several hours or overnight.

Wild Game:

We recommend the marination method for all types of game, as this type of meat is usually very lean and can be dry. "Deep-pit Seasoning" naturally tenderizes and moisturizes during the marination process. You will still get the same flavor, just milder.

Crock Pots :

Terrific! Remember that crock-pots do not dehydrate during their cooking process as much as ovens and pan roasting do, so you may want to cut down on water and seasoning used.

Frying:

Cast iron is the best. Try to fit your meat to the skillet for better heat distribution. Begin with a hot skillet, add oil or butter and place seasoned meat in pan. Sear both sides to seal in the moisture of the meat, then turn heat down to allow middle to cook to desired temperature. Great for "blackened" meals.

Oven Cooking & Roasting:

Again, cast iron is the best, but any roasting pan will do. Cook your meats freash or frozen, but remember to cover tightly. This not only allows for better heat distribution, but keeps your meat moist and tender. Always add a little water to the bottom of your roasting pan. An example of proper proportion is a 5 - 6 lb. roast, one ounce of "Deep-Pit Seasoning" (rubbed onto meat) and two cups of water on the bottom of the pan (don't "wash off" your seasoning).

Fowl:

When preparing turkey, chicken or fowl, rub a small amount of butter or margarine on the bird and sprinkle "Deep-Pit Seasoning" liberally on both sides of the bird. Bake or roast as usual.

Soups and Stews:

Add a teaspoon up to a tablespoon of "Deep-Pit Seasoning" to your favorite soup or stew mixture prior to cooking. No further seasoning is necessary.

Helpful Tips

Too Spicy:

Simple! Just cut down to 2/3 or less of the seasoning packet prior to cooking.

Too Mild:

Add "Deep-pit Seasoning" to any of our soup or stew mixes if you like the flavor on the spicy side.

BBQ's:

Sprinkle "Deep-pit Seasoning" on your steaks, chops, etc., and just cook as normal on your BBQ. If you choose to marinate, no further seasoning is required.
