Hint: *You can find Liquid Smoke in the condiments section of your supermaket. My mom used this and Gravy Master many year's ago. You can go to the Liquid Smoke site to find out how you can get a free sample of the product.(see Related Links at the right side bar) It and Gravy Master lend themselves to microwave cooking. Visit both web sites.
