Hi, all – I was wondering if anyone has suggestions for spice mixtures that would be good for seasoning snacks – chips, nuts, etc. Preferably with not too much heat, so that the kids can dig in too. Any ideas?

Thanks, guys – I somehow missed the whole section on seasoning shakers! Definitely have some exploring to do

Jonathon Is there any way to know/find out which other dry rubs are a fine enough grind to be sprinkled onto snack foods?

Well, I really wanted to try out my Imitation Bacon Seasoning, but only had access to 94% lean turkey. So, I took 1 lb of the turkey, added 1 T seasoning (no cure), 3/8 c H2O, and ~1 T veggie oil. Let it sit O/N in the fridge, then baked it according to directions.

When I tried frying the slices, it was awful (but not terribly surprising since I didn’t use the right meat).

HOWEVER, I decided maybe I should try zapping it in the microwave instead (I put a LOT of things in the microwave), and what I got were these crispy, airy things almost like fried pork rinds. Not at all what I was looking for, but still a nice enough treat.

Now I’m wondering what other seasonings might work – pretty much any of the sausage seasonings? I don’t know meat chemistry enough to figure it out just from the ingredients lists.
