BBQ Rub Ingredient Ratio Builder Tool

Build the perfect BBQ rub ratio and ingredient mix for your meat, flavor profile, sweetness level, and heat preference to create balanced, homemade rubs.

‍

Customizes rubs for diet needs.

‍

We ask for meat type, flavor profile, sweetness level, heat level, rub style, application time, and diet preference because these balance flavors (e.g., sugar for sweetness). These inputs create custom rubs. Limitation: the tool provides general ratios and may not suit allergies beyond listed; taste testing required.

Full Recipe

1. Ingredients:
   • 2 tablespoons salt
   • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
   • 2 tablespoons paprika
   • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
   • 1 tablespoon onion powder
   • 1 tablespoon black pepper
   • 1 tablespoon ground cumin

2. Instructions:

   2. Rub the mixture evenly over the pork, ensuring complete coverage.
   3. Wrap the pork in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat.

Balancing Flavors and Adhesion

• Salt: Acts as a flavor enhancer and helps to draw moisture into the meat, keeping it juicy during cooking.
• Sugar: Provides a hint of sweetness without overpowering the dish, balancing the saltiness.
• Paprika: Adds a mild sweetness and vibrant color, while garlic and onion powders offer depth and savory notes.
• Black Pepper and Cumin: Introduce mild heat and earthiness, enhancing the overall flavor without overwhelming the palate.
• Chili Powder: Offers a slight warmth, keeping the heat low as per your preference.

The combination of these ingredients not only enhances flavor but also helps the rub adhere to the meat, creating a delicious crust during cooking.
