Frequently Asked Questions
Adding dry rub to meats and vegetables should extenuate the flavor of the dish without overpowering the true star of the meal.
I like to apply my dry rub about 30 minutes to 1 hour before I cook. That gives the meat enough time to absorb the rub without drying out the meat.
If you are looking to develop a crust on your meat a dry rub is much better than a marinade. Marinades are great for meats without skin that you want to add flavor deep into the meat. Dry Rub is better for imparting a crust adding flavor more to the outside.
a thin layer of yellow mustard is my preferred binder of pork. Olive oil or even mayonnaise is a great binder to get rub to stick as well
